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)

Question

Responses

mass and velocity
mass and velocity

mass and acceleration
mass and acceleration

distance and time
distance and time

velocity and time

Answer 1

The students will multiply together mass and velocity before and after the collision. This is because momentum is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \]

So the correct response is mass and velocity.
