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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It would have to be in ideal conditions but in this one the before is 4.8 and after is 4.4

You don't have units with your results so it isn't completely clear what you mean here.

because of things like friction

What would the marble velocity have to be in order to exactly conserve momentum, assuming the steel ball's velocities to be accurate?

90 cm/s
&#Good responses. See my notes and let me know if you have questions. &#
