A big red fish with a mass of 20 kg swims with a velocity of 2 m/s toward a small, stationary green fish which has a mass of 10 kg. The big red fish opens its mouth and swallows the small green fish. What will the big red fish's velocity be immediately after swallowing its meal?

1.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

M1  = 20kg

V1  = 2m/s

V2 = 0m/s

M2  = 10kg

Unknown:

V  = ?

Solution:

As with all systems, the momentum must be conserved and it implies that the starting and ending momentum be the same.

  M1 V1  +  M2 V2  = V (M1 + M2)

M1 is the mass of the big red fish

V1 is the velocity of the big red fish

V2 is the velocity of the green fish

M2 is the mass of the green fish

V is the velocity after swallowing

           (20 x 2) + (10 x 0)  = V (20 + 10)

                      40  = 30V

                      V  = 1.33m/s

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
