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?

no, momentum before = .06kg*.8m/s = .048kgm/s

momentum after = .02kg*.7m/s + .06kg*.5m/s = .044kgm/s

• What would the marble velocity have to be in order to exactly conserve momentum?

If the velocities after remain the same, then

.06kg*v = .02kg*.7m/s + .06kg*.5m/s

.06kg*v= .044kg m/s

v = .73m/s
