Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.
• This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.
• You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.
• If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the form.
• As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.
You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

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 total momentum after the collision is not equal to before the collision.

• 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 velocity of the marble would need to be 90cm/s because the remaining momentum after the steel ball is 1800 and 1800 divided by 20 is 90.
