Two people, who have the same mass, throw two different objects at the same velocity. If the first object is heavier than the second, compare the velocities gained by the two people as a result of recoil. a. The first person will gain more velocity as a result of recoll.
b. The second person will gain more velocity as a result of recoll.
c. Both people will gain the same velocity as a result of recoll.
d. The velocity of both people will be zero as a result of recoil

The first person will gain more velocity as a result of recoil.

Explanation:

Let us recall that from Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equation and opposite. A consequence of this law is the proposition that ''momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.''

Hence, when two people who have the same mass, throw two different objects at the same velocity but the first object is heavier than the second, the first object possesses greater momentum than the second object hence the first person will gain more velocity as a result of recoil.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
