13) Suppose we say that momentum is conserved for a certain system. Which of the following is true always? a) The total momentum of the system changes b) The momentum of each of the parts of the system does not change c) The total momentum of the system is zero at one instant d) The total momentum of each part of the system is zero e) The total momentum of the system does not change

what do you think? @hardequalsmath

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its D, but im probably wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i think its E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i meant E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino please check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just making it sure @hardequalsmath okay:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if the total momentum Q is conserved, then we can write: \[\large \frac{{d{\mathbf{Q}}}}{{dt}} = 0\] so the total momentum is a constant vector, namely: \[\large {\mathbf{Q}} = {\mathbf{constant}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so it will a constant right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks to you both!!!!!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thank you! @behappy
