To determine what happens to the momentum of the turquoise ball after the collision, we'd need more information about the nature of the collision. Here are some considerations:
- If the turquoise ball collides with another object and they stick together (perfectly inelastic collision), the momentum of the turquoise ball will decrease.
- If it collides elastically with another object, the momentum could either increase, decrease, or stay the same depending on the masses and velocities of both objects involved.
- If no external forces act on the system, the total momentum of the system is conserved, meaning the momentum of the turquoise ball can change, but the overall momentum of the system remains constant.
Without specific details about the collision (e.g., the mass of the turquoise ball, its velocity before and after the collision, and the nature of the other object(s) involved), it's difficult to select the correct response.
However, in a general scenario where momentum is conserved, the momentum of the turquoise ball after the collision will depend on the other object it interacts with.
If you have more specifics about the collision type or the objects involved, I could offer a clearer answer!
