Question 11 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

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

Answer
A
pi = pf
B
pi > pf
C
pi < pf
D
pi ≠ pf

Explanation

The law of conservation of momentum says that the total momentum of a system stays the same, provided no external force changes it. Therefore, initial momentum equals final momentum: pᵢ = pբ. Choice A, “pᵢ = pբ,” expresses this law.
