The initial momentum is M1U1 + M2U2 where M1 and M2 are the masses of the two cars (in kilograms), and U1 and U2 are their velocities (in metres per second).
When the 0.500kg ball collides with the stationary ball, momentum is conserved. Meaning, initial momentum = final momentum. Momentum of an object is = mass(m) x velocity (v). If two objects are in the system, then you have to add up both initial momentums and set them equal to the final momentums... So... m x v(initial, first object) + m x v(initial, second object) = final momentum. (0.500kg)(4.0m/s) + (1.0kg)(0m/s) = final momentum. So the final momentum equals 2.0kgm/s... D. 2.0 kgm/s
There are two possible results. However, they cannot move in the same direction after the collision.Total initial momentum = p - p = 0where p represent the momentum of each object.From the principle of conservation of momentum;Total initial momentum = Total final momentumThus, Total final momentum = 0There are only two possibilities for this:1. Kinetic energy is conserved. (the collision is perfectly elastic)In this case, they would move away from each other with the same magnitude of initial momentum.2. Kinetic energy is not conserved. (the collision is inelastic)In this case, they would either remain at rest or they will move away from each other with a smaller magnitude of initial momentum each had.Note that if both bodies had moved in the same direction, there would be a net momentum in this direction and momentum would not have been conserved. (Momentum is ALWAYS conserved provided there is no external force acting on the system)
conservation of momentum
Momentum is a vector and so obeys the laws of vector addition. These imply that the momentum of two two objects will be the sum of the individual momentum only if the objects are moving in the same direction.
Yes. Momentum is conserved.
The total momentum of all the objects does not change when two or more objects collide together. An object that is smaller in mass can not have more momentum after the collusion.
The initial momentum is M1U1 + M2U2 where M1 and M2 are the masses of the two cars (in kilograms), and U1 and U2 are their velocities (in metres per second).
The total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. This is known as "conservation of momentum".
Inelastic
When the 0.500kg ball collides with the stationary ball, momentum is conserved. Meaning, initial momentum = final momentum. Momentum of an object is = mass(m) x velocity (v). If two objects are in the system, then you have to add up both initial momentums and set them equal to the final momentums...

The momenta of individual objects changes. The total momentum remains constant. I have to disagree. If you have two cars that collide head on, the momentum of both vehicles stops. The ENERGY created by the impact causes usually, some reverse momentum but the momentum is lost.
The momentum can be cancelled when the objects are equal and opposite in momentum, 0= p1 + p2, thus p1=- p2. Newton's 3rd law.
== == Momentum is the product of the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity (or speed). Momentum is conserved so if a moving object hits a staionary object the total momentum of the two objects after the collision is the same as the momentum of the original moving object.
