Question

In the top row labeled Before Collision, the left billiard ball labeled 3 meters per second approaches the right billiard ball labeled 0 meters per second with a grey arrow pointing from the right ball to the left ball. In the bottom row labeled After Collision, the left billiard ball labeled 1 meters per second approaches the right billiard ball labeled 2 meters per second with grey arrows pointing to the right from both balls. Two balls, each with a mass of 0.5 kg, collide on a pool table. Is the law of conservation of momentum satisfied in this collision? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Sample: Yes, the law of conservation of momentum is satisfied. The total momentum before the collision is 1.5 kg • m/s and the total momentum after the collision is 1.5 kg • m/s. The momentum before and after the collision is the same.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample Response: Yes, the law of conservation of momentum is satisfied. The total momentum before the collision is 1.5 kg • m/s and the total momentum after the collision is 1.5 kg • m/s. The momentum before and after the collision is the same.
