The experiments will involve two billiard balls of known masses, m₁ and m₂, and velocities u₁ and u₂. The two are allowed to collide and the velocities of the balls after the collision v₁ and v₂ are recorded.
The momentum before and after the collision is then calculated as follows:
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
<h3>What is the statement of the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>
The law of the conservation of momentum states that the momentum before and after collision in a system of colliding bodies is conserved
The momentum of a body is calculated using the formula below:
Momentum = mass * velocity.
Hence, for the two billiard balls, the momentum before and after the collision is conserved.
