'A big fish swims upon and swallows a small fish at rest After lunch the big fish has less speed: momentum_ both of these none of these'
Ankur S.
25. A large fish is in motion at 2 m/s when it encounters a smaller fish that is at rest. The large fish swallows the smaller fish and continues in motion at a reduced speed. If the large fish has three times the mass of the smaller fish, then what is the speed of the large fish (combined with the smaller fish) after the collision? Before After Object Initial momentum (Before) Final momentum (After) Total Momentum
