Conservation of Momentum Quiz

A ball rolls toward a stationary white ball and collides with it in a perfectly elastic collision. Upon colliding, ALL momentum is imparted into the white ball. *Both have identical masses!

IF the orange ball had 10 kg m/s of momentum BEFORE the collision, how much momentum does the white ball have AFTER the collision?

• 0 kg m/s

• 5 kg m/s

• 10 kg m/s

• 20 kg m/s
