Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 31PQ

A crate of mass M is initially at rest on a frictionless, level table. A small block of mass m (m < M) moves toward the crate as shown in Figure P10.31. Later, the block and crate are stuck together and are moving with some final speed. The momentum of the block–crate system is the same both before and after the collision. Is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the crate greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the change in the momentum of the block? Explain.
