The video shows an animated billiards experiment in which a cue ball strikes a glued-in-place eight-ball. Which of the following explains why the momentum of the eight-ball is conserved? The eight-ball is an isolated system. The cue ball rebounds with the same speed it had coming in. The "glue force" cancels the collision force. The collision is elastic.

Which statement must be true for the momentum of a system to be conserved? The internal forces sum to zero. The net external force on the system is non-zero. The net external force on the system is zero. There are no external forces acting on the system.

While goofing off at the ice skating rink, a student takes off her shoes and places each of them on the ice. Her friend, a hockey player, then shoots a hockey puck at each shoe. The first puck immediately comes to rest after it collides with the left shoe. The second puck rebounds after it collides with the right shoe. If each hockey puck has the same incoming speed, which shoe has greater speed after the collision? Both shoes have the same speed. The left shoe The right shoe

In the opening scenes of the prelecture video, we outlined some of the key properties of momentum. Which of the following statements are consistent with these properties? Check all that apply. An object's momentum is equal to its mass divided by its velocity. An object's momentum is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity. Momentum is a scalar quantity.

Object A has a mass m and a speed v, object B has a mass m/2 and a speed 4v, and object C has a mass 3m and a speed v/3. Rank the objects according to the magnitude of their momentum.

What physical quantities are conserved in this collision? the magnitude of the momentum only the net momentum (considered as a vector) only the momentum of each object considered individually

Two cars of equal mass collide inelastically and stick together after the collision. Before the collision, their speeds are v1 and v2. What is the speed of the two-car system after the collision? v1+v2 v1?v2 v2?v1 ? (v1v2) (v1+v2)/2 ? ( v1^2+v2^2) The answer depends on the directions in which the cars were moving before the collision.

After the collision, what is the magnitude of their combined momentum? p1+p2 p1?p2 p2?p1 ?p1p2 (p1+p2)/2 ?p1^2 +p2^2 The answer depends on the directions in which the cars were moving before the collision.
