I think it is because the electrons repel each other
If you take 50 meters and divide by 23.1 seconds, you will get 2.16 meters per second.
So his average speed is 2.16 m/s.
Answer: My initial velocity is 5 m/s.
Explanation:
In this case, momentum can be conserved.
initial momentum = final momentum
Since both the bodies come to rest after collision,
Final momentum = 0
Let my velocity be v, and mass, m1 = 60 kg
Friend's mass, m2 = 100 kg
Friend's velocity, v2 = 3 m/s
Intial momentum = m1v + m2v2
= 60v + 300
Conserving momentum,
60v + 300 = 0
v= -5 m/s
( Negative sign indicates that me and my friend are moving in opposite directions that is towards each other)
