PLEASE HELP! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! Two kids are roller skating. Amy, with a mass of 55 kg, is traveling forward at 3 m/s. Jenny, who has a mass of 40 kg, is traveling in the opposite direction at 5 m/s. They crash into each other and hold onto each other so that they move as one mass. How fast are they traveling? How would you find your answer?

This is a conservation of momentum problem. The equation relevant here is

where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Because Amy and Jenny move as one mass after crashing (or colliding) with each other, this is an inelastic collision. What we to find is the final velocity, , of both Amy and Jenny as a single body.

this would be about 43%

54 degrees incident angle = reflected angle

angle is from normal turned to line of ray
