• remain the same

• be cut in half

• doubles

• triples

What is the conservation of momentum?

• There are equal and opposite forces during collisions and explosions.

• Momentum of a system is the same before and after a collision/explosion.

• Energy is conserved during collisions and explosions.

Why is it important to not stand behind a cannon when firing a cannonball?

• Because it has more mass and moves faster than the ball

• Because of recoil.

• Because the change of momentum of the ball will be different if not.

• Case A

• Case B

• Both the same.
