Thanks for the reply Simon! My initial thought was that the momentum before collision will be (mass person + mass motorcycle) x velocity. Since the motorcycle comes to a stop, the momentum after collision will be equal to the momentum before collision but just the mass of the person x new...

I think this is a basic question, at least I would hope so. If two identical motorcycles are going at the same speed but one has a lighter individual. If each individually collides with a stationary object and the driver is ejected. Who will go further and why?

opps. Sorry about that SteamKing. Thanks again!

Thank you very much Streamking! That's what I thought, so degrees are technically correct as long as they are included in the units. Just wanted to confirm that since I don't see it used anywhere.

I have a very basic questions about units for angular momentum. The measure is in kg m^2/s Angular velocity is in radians/s and therefore radians do not appear in the units. Here is my question, can we leave this in degees/s? Sure its not used but is it wrong? If we are dealing with...
