Momentum = mass x velocity
3
Q
In a closed system what happens to the total momentum after th event
A
It’s the same as the momentum after the event
4
Q
Explain conservation of momentum
A
The red ball is stationary and white ball is moving (has momentum)
White ball hits red ball and causing it to move. Red ball has momentum now but white ball also moving at smaller velocity
Same momentum at start and now
