A 200 man is running 3 miles per hour and collides with a 125 pound man. If the larger man transfers all of his momentum to the smaller man, will the smaller man travel slower, faster or at the same speed as the larger man?

To answer this question, we need to consider the concept of momentum.

Momentum is a property of moving objects and is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It mathematically represented as momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v).

Given that the larger man is running at a speed of 3 miles per hour, and the smaller man's speed is not mentioned, we cannot determine the momentum of either individual just yet. However, we can consider the momentum conservation principle.

The law of conservation of momentum states that in the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains constant. This means that the momentum of the larger man before the collision will be transferred to the smaller man after the collision.

Since the larger man is running and collides with the smaller man, it is likely that the larger man has more momentum due to higher mass and speed.

Therefore, if the larger man transfers all of his momentum to the smaller man, the smaller man will continue moving in the same direction but will travel at a faster speed than before the collision. This is because the larger man's momentum adds to the smaller man's initial momentum, resulting in a higher overall momentum for the smaller man.
