What is your name?

Question 2
2.

In an intense game of Bubble Soccer, a 75 kg player running to the right at 3 m/s collides elastically (bouncy) with an 85 kg player who was running to the left at 2 m/s. After the collision, the 75 kg player bounces back at -2.3 m/s. SKETCH the collision diagram to represent before-during-after this event. Use RED for the 75 kg player and BLUE for the 85 kg player.

Question 3
3.

Determine the velocity (both speed and direction) of the 85 kg player after the collision.

Question 4
4.

Question 5
5.

How does the size of the force ON the 75 kg player (by the 85 kg player) compare to the size of the force ON the 85 kg player (by the 75 kg player)?

How does the CHANGE in momentum of the 75 kg player compare to the CHANGE in momentum of the 85 kg player?
The momentum of the 75 kg player changes less, and is positive.
The momentum of the 75 kg player changes more, and is positive.
The momentum of both players change by the same amount, and both are positive.
The momentum of both players change by the same amount, but in opposite directions.
The momentum of both players change by the same amount, and both are negative.
The momentum of the 75 kg player changes less, and is negative.
The momentum of the 75 kg player changes more, and is negative.
