bob and billy are pushing desks around to rearrange their new rooms. bob is far lazier than billy, so he stacks and moves two desks together at a time so that he can be done sooner. They each exert the same force on their desks and they push them forward for 5 seconds.   Assuming all the desks start at rest, whose desk(s) has more momentum after 5 seconds?   -bob   -billy   - Same   please explain thank you
