A steel ball of mass 60 grams, moving at 80 cm / sec, collides with a stationary marble of mass 20 grams. As a result of the collision the steel ball slows to 50 cm / sec and the marble speeds up to 70 cm / sec.
Is the total momentum of the system after collision the same as the total momentum before?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
no the momentum is not the same after the collosion. It is 400 g cm/s less than before the collosion.
What would the marble velocity have to be in order to exactly conserve momentum, assuming the steel ball's velocities to be accurate?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The marble velocity would have to be 90 cm/s
