Chubby Santa(mass 100kg) decides to have some fun and slides 9.0 m down a snowy roof)starting from rest. There is a 135 n fricitional force between santa and the roof. After sliding the 9.0 meters he collides with and clings to, an elf (mass 50kg) who was sitting on the roof edge. They both fall into the snow-6 meters below
A)Write a "physics story about this event"
B)Use work-energy principles and conservation of momentum when applicable to evaluate how fast they are moving when they hit the snow.
c)During the collision santa and the elf each exert a forces on each other. WHich, if either, exerts the larger force? explain
any help would be appreciated
