From the law of the conservation of energy; the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to the total kinetic energy before the collision must be 1.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>
The term momentum is the product of mass and velocity. The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that total momentum before collision must be the same as the total momentum after collision thus the ratio of the total momentum after the collision to the total momentum before the collision must be 1.
Also, from the law of the conservation of energy; the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to the total kinetic energy before the collision must be 1.

A football in flight during a field goal
Answer:
Option (a)
Explanation:
We will discard options that don't fit the situation:
Option b: <em>Incorrect </em>since if the driver "hits the gas" then velocity is augmenting and it's not constant.
Option c and d: <em>Incorrect </em>since the situation doesn't give us any information that could be related directly to the terrain or movement direction.
Option a: Correct. At <em>stage 1</em> we can assume the driver was going at constant speed which means acceleration is constantly zero. At <em>stage 2 </em>we can assume the driver augmented speed linearly, this is, with constant positive acceleration. At <em>stage 3 </em>we can assume the driver slowed the speed linearly, with constant negative acceleration.
B is correct answer.
The atomic mass is the most important because it tells you the number of electrons.
