Question 16 • FL-1501300-Personal Fitness

If two objects of unequal mass collide, both objects will continue to move in the direction of __________.

Answer
A
the smaller object's momentum
B
the larger object's momentum
C
the smaller object's resistance
D
the larger object's resistance

Explanation

In a collision, the objects’ motion after the collision is governed by the system’s total momentum, which is conserved. When one object has greater momentum than the other, the total momentum points in the direction of the larger momentum, so both objects continue moving in that direction. The correct choice is “the larger object's momentum.”
