Question
James runs along the surface of a frozen lake towards Alex. Alex is stationary on an inner tube. James then jumps on the inner tube with Alex and they both slide forward in the same direction that James was initially running in. Ignoring any friction from the surface of the ice, how does the system's momentum that contains both James and Alex on the inner tuber change from James jumping on the tube? choose the right choice below
There is not enough information to be able to determine if the system's momentum will change.Explanation / Answer
there is no any external force acting on the system. only internal forces are acting. so, the momentum of the system will be conserved. The system's momentum doesn't change
