CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM

In an isolated system.
Momentum before a conversion equals the Momentum after a conversion.

P is Momentum

Initial Momentum = Final Momentum, pi=pf

m1v1 + m2v2 =
m1v1f + m2v2f

EXAMPLE

A 1.8 kg bouncy ball is rolling to the right at 4.0 m/s. It collides with a 1.0 kg Terrible Terry action figure that was stationary.

Photo by sem

After the collision the ball was traveling at 3.6 m/s to the right.

Photo by Enokson

Find the velocity of the action figure after the collision.
