Question: Two kids are throwing snowballs at each other. The first kids snowballs are made of loosely packed snow and they fall apart when they hit

Two kids are throwing snowballs at each other. The first kid’s snowballs are made of loosely packed snow and they fall apart when they hit something, so their impacts take 0.08 s and the snow essentially stops after the impact. The second kid’s snowballs are actually ice balls and when they hit you the impacts last only 0.01 s. Find the ratio of the average force applied by each snowball if they are thrown as the same speed.
