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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
.06kg*.8m/s=.048kg m/s
(.06kg*.5m/s)+(.02kg*.7m/s)=.044kg m/s
No more momentum before 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
.018/.02=.9
.9m/s to keep momentum same of the marble
