The diagram shows two balls before they collide.
2 balls with grey arrows pointing to them from the outside. The left ball has below it m subscript 1 = 0.6 kilograms v subscript 1 = 0.5 meters per second. The right ball has below it m subscript 2 = 0.5 kilograms v subscript 2 = negative 0.2 meters per second.
What is the momentum of the system after the collision?

Respuesta :

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

I'm taking the test right now.

The final momentum of the system is 0.4kgm/s

According to the law conservation of momentum, the momentum of the system before the collision and after the collision remains consevred.

if  [tex]m_{1}[/tex] is the mass of one ball and its initial and final velocities be [tex]v_{1}[/tex] and [tex]v_{1f}[/tex] respectively, and

if  [tex]m_{2}[/tex] is the mass of one ball and its initial and final velocities be [tex]v_{2}[/tex] and [tex]v_{2f}[/tex] respectively

then,   [tex]m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1f} + m_{2}v_{2f}[/tex]

 Momentum after collision = [tex]m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}[/tex][tex]=0.6*0.5+0.5*0.2[/tex]

   Momentum after collision  = 0.4 kgm/s
