In an experiment, two objects, object X and object Y, travel toward each other and collide. Data are collected about
each object before, during, and after the collision, as shown in the table. Which ofthe following pairs of data, when
used together to create two graphs, could verify the conservation of momentum? Select two answers.

A) Average force exerted on object X by object Y and time of collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the change in momentum of object X.

B) Average force excreted on object Y by object X and time it collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the change in momentum of object Y.

C) Mass of object X and velocity of object X before collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the initial momentum of object X.

D) Mass of object Y and velocity of object Y before collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the initial momentum of object X.


Sagot :

(a) Average force exerted on object X by object Y and time of collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the change in momentum of object X.

(b) Average force excreted on object Y by object X and time it collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the change in momentum of object Y.

What is conservation of linear momentum?

The principle of conservation of linear momentum, states that in the absence of external force, the sum of initial momentum must be equal to sum of final momentum.

P = mv

where;

  • m is mass
  • v is velocity
  • p is momentum

F = mv/t

Ft = mv

J = Δmv

where;

  • J is impulse = Ft
  • Δmv is change in momentum

mass of object X and object Y are constant, and cannot be used create graphs.

Impulse (product of force and time) received by an object is equal to change in the momentum of the object.

Thus, the pairs of data that can be used together to create two graphs, to verify the conservation of momentum are;

(a) Average force exerted on object X by object Y and time of collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the change in momentum of object X.

(b) Average force excreted on object Y by object X and time it collision, because these measurements can be used to determine the change in momentum of object Y.
