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.

The momentum p of a moving particle is the product between its mass, m, and tis velocity, v:
In our problem, we know
and
, and using the relationship mentioned above, we can find the mass m of the particle:
A scientist would write that number as 1.49 x 10⁸ kilometers .
(Or, if the scientist is in France or the UK, he might write it as 1.49 x 10⁸ kilometres .)
Maybe the water wasnt stable enough and probably couldnt read the water level correctly
Answer:
Main Difference Between Mechanical and Electromagnetic waves
A wave is composed of some kind of disturbance that propagates. We can classify waves into many different types based on their properties. One of the properties of the waves depends on whether they need a medium to propagate or not. The primary difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves is also based on this property. Mechanical waves need a medium, while electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. The other differences between mechanical and electromagnetic waves are given below:
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is an empty space, whereas mechanical waves cannot. They need a medium to travel such as water or air. Ripples in a pond are an example of mechanical waves whereas electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals, which can travel through the vacuum of space.
Mechanical waves can be classed as elastic waves because their transmission depends on the medium's (water, air etc.) elastic properties.
Electromagnetic waves are caused because of the varying magnetic and electric fields. They are produced by the vibration of the charged particles.
Because of these differences, the speed of each type of wave varies significantly. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light but mechanical waves are far slower.
