Two students consider a case in which the gliders do not have the same mass. The students make the following claims about the momentum of each glider in this new case:

Student $1$: Since $,$ the heavier glider will have a larger momentum than the lighter glider after the explosion.

Student $2$: You're right that $,$ but I think the heavier glider will move slower to make up for the extra mass and they will both have the same momentum, but in opposite directions.

You will determine which student claim is the most correct.

Identify the evidence that would be the most helpful as you evaluate each claim.
