Asked by Mason
In a closed system, a ball with a mass of 3 kg and a momentum of 24 kg·m/s collides into a ball with a mass of 1 kg that is originally at rest. Which statement describes the momentum of the balls and the total momentum?(1 point)

The momentum of each ball changes, and the total momentum stays the same.
Explanation: In a closed system total momentum is conserved (remains 24 kg·m/s), but during the collision momentum is transferred between the balls so each ball’s individual momentum changes.
