During the ACM mission, the space pod collided with the space station and both experienced a change in velocity. The mass of the pod is 1,100 kg and the mass of the station is 415,400 kg.  After the collision, how did the pod’s motion compare to the motion of the space station?

The pod is moving faster than the space station.
