Here is the question:
Consider the head-on collision of two identical bowling balls, each with mass 5 kg (see figure). Ball A with velocity vr ightarrow = m/s strikes ball B, which was at rest. Then ball A stops and ball B moves with the same velocity v rightarrow that ball A had initially. Choose a system consisting only of ball A. What is the momentum change of the system during the collision? Delta p rightarrow system = , 0, 0 kg m/s What is the momentum change of the surroundings? Delta p rightarrow surroundings = , 0, 0 kg m/s Choose a system consisting only of ball B. What is the momentum change of the system during the collision? Delta p rightarrow system = , 0, 0 kg m/s What is the momentum change of the surroundings? Delta p rightarrow surroundings = , 0, 0 kg m/s Choose a system consisting of both balls. What is the momentum change of the system during the collision? Delta p rightarrow system = , 0, 0 kg m/s What is the momentum change of the surroundings? Delta p rightarrow surroundings = , 0, 0 kg m/sExplanation / Answer
a) system <-30,0,0>
surrounding <30,0,0>
b) system <30,0,0>
surrounding <-30,0,0>
c) system <0,0,0>
surrounding <0,0,0>
