Answer:

J. Their momentum is conserved

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the diagram, the best statement that describes what happens when two astronauts collides in space is that their momentum is conserved.

The momentum before collision is 320kgkm/hr and after collision it is 320kgm/s

This collision is an inelastic collision;

momentum before = momentum after

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

m₁ = 80kg

v₁ = 4km/hr

m₂ = 80kg

v₂ = 0

v = 2km/hr

Insert the parameters;

(80 x 4) + (80 x 0) = 2(80 + 80)

320 = 320
