Answer: Correct option is C) because momentum is conserved

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of linear momentum if net external force on a system is zero then the total momentum of the system will be conserved .

<u>For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system</u>

If we consider the two colliding object as a single system then while collision the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

Thus momentum before collision equal the momentum after a collision because momentum is conserved .

Which statement describes a digital signal?

hoa [83]

Answer:

"It is made of numbers" describes the digital signal.

Explanation:

The digital signal are the electrical signal which is translated into the pattern of bits. The digital signal are always discrete value in every sampling point. The conversion of the programming into the stream or the binary sequence like 0s and 1s. The digital signals never gets weaken over distance but the analog signal gets weakened or impair at distance. The digital signals are consists of one or two value, Timing graph are square waves.
