What does the law of conservation of momentum tell us about collisions?
 a. Collisions increase the momenta of the colliding objects because the impacts add momentum.
  b. Collisions decrease the momenta of the colliding objects because the friction of the impact decreases momentum.
  c. The total momentum in the system does not change because of a collision.
  d. The total momentum in the system goes to zero at the time of the collision.
  e. The momentum of each colliding object goes to zero upon collision.

Question 2

If two identical balls have momenta that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, what do we know about the speeds of the two balls after the two collide?

  b. The speeds of the two balls will always be different.
  c. The speeds with both will be faster than before.
  d. The ball that was hit first will move faster.
  e. The ball that was hit first will move more slowly.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
