Question
if two objects of unequal mass collide, both objects will continue to move in the direction of
a. the smaller object’s momentum
b. the larger object’s momentum
c. the smaller object’s resistance
d. the larger object’s resistance
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d
In collisions, total momentum is conserved. The direction of motion post-collision depends on the dominant momentum. Larger momentum (product of mass and velocity) determines the direction.
