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.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
