What is the magnitude of the final momentum of the purple marble?
Your answer should have one significant figure.

Respuesta :

The magnitude of the final momentum of the purple marble is 5g

The law of conservation of momentum states that:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

Let x represent the magnitude of the final momentum of the purple marble, therefore:

20 + 0(stationary) = 15 + x

x + 15 = 20

x = 5

The magnitude of the final momentum of the purple marble is 5g
