Emanuel Farmer · Answer 1

According to the Law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the system before and after the collision remains same. The momentum may transfer from one object to another as a result of the impact, but the overall momentum of the system remains same.

So, the correct answer is option a.

The total initial momentum of all objects interacting with one another usually equals the total final momentum.

The law of conservation of momentum states that a.

The total initial momentum of all objects interacting with one another usually equals the total final momentum. This will just mean that the energy acquired is equal to energy given by an object.
