In a very busy off-campus eatery, one chef sends a 201 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.79 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 335 g veggie burger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.47 m/s. The two delicacies collide head-on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction-free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving.   In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? A) does not move B) to the right C) to the left   At what speed does it move in m/s? Enter a positive number.
