Some students conduct an experiment to prove conservation of momentum. They use two objects that collide Measurements
are taken before and after the collision.

Which two quantities will the students multiply together before and after the collision?


A. mass and velocity

B. distance and time

C. mass and acceleration

D. velocity and time

Respuesta :

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum, velocity, and mass.

The two quantities, the students should multiply before and after the collision are "A. mass and velocity".

According to the law of conservation of momentum, In an isolated system, the total momentum of the system before the collision is always equal to the total momentum of the system after the collision.

To prove the law of conservation of momentum, consider two balls of masses ‘m₁’ and ‘m₂’, moving with velocities ‘u₁’ and ‘u₂’, respectively, such that u₁ is greater than u₂. After some time, these balls collide with each other and their velocities become ‘v₁’ and ‘v₂’, respectively.

This situation is illustrated in the attached picture.

So, according to the law of conservation of momentum:

Total Momentum Before Collision = Total Momentum After Collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
