Two roller skaters face each other. Skater A has a mass of 50kg and Skater B has a mass of 60kg. What happens to their total momentum if the skaters push away from each other?

A. Triples
B. Doubles
C. Decreases
D. Equal but opposite

D. Equal but opposite

Explanation:

In collisions of two isolated objects, momentum is conserved unless an outside force is applied.

But the person moving to the left will have a negative final momenta while the one moving to then right will have a positive momenta.
