Using two billiard balls, in 3-4 sentences, design an experiment to demonstrate the law of conservation of momentum.(4 points)
One way to design an experiment to demonstrate the law of conservation of momentum is as follows:
1. Set up a flat, smooth surface and place two billiard balls of different masses on either end.
2. Using a cue stick, strike one of the balls while keeping the other stationary.
3. Observe and measure the resulting velocities of both balls after the collision to determine if the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
