Question

A moving billiard ball hits another ball at rest, causing the first ball to stop moving as the second rolls away. If the two balls have the same mass, what is the relationship between them? (2 points)

a
The momentum of the second ball would be greater than the original momentum of the first ball.

b
The momentum of the second ball will be less than the original momentum of the first moving ball.

c
The momentum of the second ball will equal to the original momentum of the first moving ball.

d
The momentum of the second ball will depend on the acceleration of the first moving ball.

Answer 1

Answer:

the collision here taking place is elastic collision as there is no energy loss takes place..

Explanation:

so , as impulsive force act during collision there momentum will remain conserved.

c.The momentum of the second ball will equal to the original momentum of the first moving ball.

is the correct answer.

hope it helps!
