Question

The third graders are on one side of a schoolyard, and the fourth graders are on the other. They are throwing snowballs at each other. Between them, snowballs of various masses are moving with different velocities as shown in the figure below. Rank the snowballs (a) through (e) according to the magnitude of the total force exerted on each one. Ignore air resistance. If two snowballs rank together, make that fact clear. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. If any elements are equal, show their equality in alphabetic order [for example: a>b=c]. Do not include any spaces or parenthesis around the letters.)

Isnt the answer d>a=b>e>c?

Explanation / Answer

d>a+b>e>c is correct because you would just need to multiply the mass of the snowballs with the speed they are thrown at.
