Question 4 • Physical Science

Which formula can be used to express the law of conservation of momentum, where p is equal to momentum?

Answer
A
p sub i is greater than p sub f
B
p sub i is equal to p sub f
C
p sub i is less than p sub f
D
p sub i is not equal to p sub f

Explanation

The law of conservation of momentum says that the total momentum of a system remains constant when no external force changes it. Therefore, the initial momentum, pᵢ, equals the final momentum, pᶠ. The correct choice is “pᵢ is equal to pᶠ.”
