No, the density of diamond and graphite would not be the same
Explanation:
What is density?
Density is the amount of substance per unit volume. It is simply mass divided by volume.
Density is greatly influenced by the way substances are packed.
Substances that are well packed will have lower volume for the same amount of matter than another that is poorly packed.
- The carbon atoms in graphite are poorly packed. They are arranged layers upon layers.
- Diamond carbon atoms have a cross-linked networked pattern. They are well packed.
- For the same mass of matter, graphite will take up more space than diamond.
Since:
Density =
The one that has a lesser volume will have a higher density.
Therefore diamond will have a higher density.

1. +72.0 kg m/s
The momentum of an object is given by:
p = mv
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
Taking "to the right" as positive direction, for Elena we have
m = 60.0 kg is the mass
v = +1.20 m/s is the velocity
So, Elena's momentum is
2. -162.5 kg m/s
Here Madison is moving in the opposite direction of Elena (to the left), so her velocity is
v = -2.50 m/s
while her mass is
m = 65.0 kg
Therefore, her momentum is
3. -90.5 kg m/s
The total momentum of Elena and Madison is equal to the algebraic sum of their momenta; taking into account the correct signs, we have:
4. 0.72 m/s to the left
We can find the final speed of Elena and Madison by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the final momentum must be equal to the initial momentum (before the collision).
The initial momentum is the one calculated at the previous step:
while the final momentum (after the collision) is given by
where
is Elena's mass
is Madison's mass
v is their final velocity
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
So we can find v:
and the direction is to the left, since the sign is negative.
