Some students conduct an experiment to prove conservation of momentum. They use two objects that collide. Measurements are taken before and after the collision. Which two quantities will the students multiply together before and after the collision?(1 point)

Responses

mass and acceleration
mass and acceleration

velocity and time
velocity and time

distance and time
distance and time

mass and velocity

1 answer

The correct response is:

mass and velocity

In order to demonstrate the conservation of momentum, the students would calculate the momentum of the objects before and after the collision, which is done by multiplying the mass of each object by its velocity (momentum = mass × velocity).
