A two dimensional collision between a green and a purple ball, where the purple ball strikes the green. If the data for both objects' velocities (x and y components) versus time are provided, and the mass of the balls are identical, what is a way to determine if the momentum of the system conserved? Explain your methodology. Green ball: vx = 0 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vx = 17.42 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s vy = 0 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vy = -8.01 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s   Purple ball: vx = 22.3 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vx = 4.878 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s vy = 2.6 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s vy = 10.61 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s

Explain your methodology.

Green ball:

vx = 0 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s

vx = 17.42 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s

vy = 0 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s

vy = -8.01 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s

 

Purple ball:

vx = 22.3 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s

vx = 4.878 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s

vy = 2.6 m/s from t = 0 s to t = 0.4 s

v= 10.61 m/s from t = 0.5 s to t = 5 s
