**Designing an Experiment to Demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Momentum** **Task:** Using two billiard balls, in 3-4 sentences, design an experiment to demonstrate the law of conservation of momentum. - **Instructions:** - Use the formatting tools provided: **B** (Bold), *I* (Italic), **U** (Underline). - Utilize bullet points or numbered lists to organize your experiment steps if needed. **Experiment Design:** 1. Position two billiard balls on a smooth, level surface to minimize friction. 2. Gently roll one ball towards the stationary second ball and observe the collision. 3. Record the speed and direction of both balls before and after the collision to ensure total momentum is conserved. 4. Confirm that the combined momentum of both balls remains constant throughout the experiment by applying the formula \( p = mv \). *[Note: This is an interactive field where text and formatting can be modified as required for educational purposes.]*

When there is motion is both directions, state which direction is positive at the START of the problem. For the impulse-momentum and the conservation of momentum problems: Plug your GIVEN VALUES into the equation FIRST then do the algebra. Use the following equations: F t = m vf -m vi m1 vi1 + m2 vi2 = m1 vf1 + m2 vf2 m1 vi1 + m2 vi2 = (m1 + m2) vf (m1 + m2) Vi = m1 vf1 + m2 vf2 6.)
