Question

if two ball of equal mass are moving towards each other with the same velocity,what is the total momentum of the system

Answer 1

Two balls with equal masses, m, and equal speed, v, engage in a head on elastic collision. ... Since the balls of equal mass are moving at equal and opposite speeds, the total linear momentum of the system is zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer of this question is zero.

Explanation:

Given - Two balls of equal mass are moving towards each other with the same velocity.

To find - what is the total momentum of the system.

If two balls of equal mass are moving towards each other with the same velocity the total momentum of the system is zero.

A head-on elastic collision occurs when two balls of identical mass, m, and speed, v, collide. The total linear momentum of the system is 0 since the balls of equal mass are travelling at equal and opposite speeds.
