In a closed system, what is true about momentum?

Total before = total after event

What is the momentum of a stationary object with mass mm?

Zero

Two balls (mass mm) collide. One moves at vv, one is stationary. Total momentum before?

mvmv

If total momentum before collision is mvmv, what is it after the collision?

mvmv

After collision, ball A (originally moving) has what kind of velocity?

Reduced velocity

What happens to ball B after collision if it was initially stationary?

Gains velocity and momentum

Why is total momentum before collision just mvmv in the example?

Other ball not moving, has no momentum

What does conservation of momentum require?

A closed system
