Take two different balls that can bounce (a tennis ball and a basketball combination works great) and stack the lighter ball on top of the heavier one. Release them simultaneously and let them hit the floor stacked. What happens? The two balls hit the ground and bounce upwards, with the heavier ball bouncing significantly higher than where it was released from. The two balls hit the ground and bounce upwards, neither ball reaching as high as it started from. The two balls hit the ground and bounce upwards, coming to rest pretty close to their starting positions. The two balls hit the ground and h

Question
Please help me to check if I selected the correct answer for the two questions at the bottom
A grenade is initially at rest. Suddenly, it explodes into many different pieces. If you
were to sum up the momentum of all the pieces (and gases), what would the result
be?
O
Ip₁ + P₂ + P3 + ... |> 0
|p₁ + P₂ + P3 +
|p₁ + P₂ + P3 +
The answer cannot be determined.
