A billiard ball moves with 3 kg⋅m/s of momentum and strikes three other billiard balls. What is the total momentum of the balls after the collision? (1 point)
more than 3 kg⋅m/s
3 kg⋅m/s
It depends on the mass of each ball.
less than 3 kg⋅m/s

The momentum of the billiard balls after the collision is 3 Kgm/s.

Given the following data:

To find the momentum of the balls after the collision:

Momentum is simply a multiplication (product) of the mass of an object with its velocity.  Also, momentum is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

×

Since the other billiard balls were at rest (not experience any motion), there velocities would be zero (0) m/s.

Substituting the given values, we have:

Total momentum = 3 Kgm/s.

Therefore, the momentum of the billiard balls after the collision is 3 Kgm/s.

A billiard ball moves with 3 kg⋅m/s of momentum and strikes three other billiard balls that have been just sitting there at rest and not moving.

The total momentum of all four balls after the collision is 3 kg⋅m/s, because momentum is not created or destroyed.  The total amount of it after an event is the same as the total amount of it before the event.

it has to be b, about 97 percent.
