I’m not really sure if i’m being honest it doesn’t make sense to me
Answer: Student 2
Explanation: Iron nail and a paperclip are conductors because they are made of metal. A rock, rubber band, and wooden stick are insulators because they cannot conduct electricity.
<span>Since youc oncetrate all your force directly towards the moment arm it means that you push it at an angle of your force is directed to the left or the right and I bet that it must be 90</span> degrees to the bar. Obviuosly, if you are about to push it you will do it straight up but not in a zig zag way. In other words, it should be perpendicular to the arm because the<span> torque can be produced only if force is applied at a constant index (90).
Hope that helps! Regards.</span>
Assume that the small-massed particle is
and the heavier mass particle is
.
Now, by momentum conservation and energy conservation:


Now, there are 2 solutions but, one of them is useless to this question's main point so I excluded that point. Ask me in the comments if you want the excluded solution too.

So now, we see that
and
. So therefore, the smaller mass recoils out.
Hope this helps you!
