Jerome solves a problem using the law of conservation of momentum. What should Jerome always keep constant for each object after the objects collide and bounce apart?

a-velocity

b-mass

c-momentum

d-direction

Answer:

b. Mass

Explanation:

This question has to do with the principle of the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum of a system remains constant if no external force is acting on it.

As the question states, two objects collide with each other and eventually bounce apart, so their momentum may not be conserved but the mass of the objects is constant for each non-relativistic motion. Because of this, the mass of each object prior to the collision would be the same as the mass after the collision.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. Mass.

This question involves the concept of the law of conservation of momentum.

Jerome should always keep the "mass" of each object constant after the objects collide and bounce apart.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum of a system of objects must remain constant before and after the collision has taken place.

Mathematically,

[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_v_2[/tex]

where,

m₁ = mass of the first object

m₂ = mass of the second object

u₁ = velocity of the first object before the collision

u₂ = velocity of the second object before the collision

v₁ = velocity of the first object after the collision

v₂ = velocity of the second object after the collision

Hence, it is clear from the formula that the only thing unchanged before and after the collision is the mass of each object.
