Can I get help with this question please? Male rams butt heads at high speeds in a ritual to assert their dominance. How can the force of this collision be minimized so as to avoid damage to their brains?
Ravindra Y.
During mating season, male bighorn sheep establish dominance with head-butting contests which can be heard up to a mile away. When two males butt heads, the "winner" is the one that knocks the other backward. In one contest a sheep of mass $95.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ moving at $10.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{10.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}$ runs directly into a sheep of mass $80.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ moving at $12.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{12.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}$. Which ram wins the head-butting contest? SSM Example $7-2$
