Question

Consider the head-on collision of two identical bowling balls, each with mass 8 kg (see figure). Ball A with velocity v = m/s strikes ball B, which was at rest. Then ball A stops and ball B moves with the same velocity u that ball A had initially. Choose a system consisting only of ball A. What is the momentum change of the system during the collision? What is the momentum change of the surroundings? Choose a system consisting only of ball B. What is the momentum change of the system during the collision? What is the momentum change of the surroundings? Choose a system consisting of both balls. What is the momentum change of the system during the collision? What is the momentum change of the surroundings?

Explanation / Answer

-48 48 48 -48 0 0 REMEMBER THAT ALWAYS total i.e., system+surrounding should always be zero
