Sorry if this doesn't work I will upload it when I get a chance to use my computer again. Anyways tonight I will be talking to you about momentum yet again. Today's focus is on conservation of momentum. This is basically saying that in a select system or operation an object will not change when acted upon a different object. Confusing? Yeah I know. Let me explain through example. These balls are flying directly at each other. When they hit they will basically trade velocities or speeds. Meaning that if the first ball had a velocity of 4m/s and the second had a velocity at 5 m/s, when they hit, the first ball will bounce back at around 5 m/s and the second one will go at 4 m/s. So the next time you and your friend are throwing balls and your friend decides to throw a ball at you, don't be an idiot and throw the ball directly at that ball expecting it to bounce off and not hit you in the head. Anyways I'm hoping to get off of this chapter soon because it's making my brain hurt but for now I hope you enjoyed this demonstration of the conservation of momentum.
