In a lab experiment, a student is trying to apply the conservation of momentum. Two identical balls, each with a mass of 1.0 kg, roll toward each other and collide. The velocity is measured before and after each collision. The collected data is shown below. A 5 column table with 3 rows. The first column is unlabeled with entries Trial 1, Trial 2, Trial 3, Trial 4. The second column is labeled Initial Velocity Ball A (meters per second) with entries positive 1, positive 0.5, positive 2, positive 0.5. The third column is labeled Initial Velocity Ball B (meters per second) with entries negative 2, negative 1.5, positive 1, negative 1. The third column is labeled Final Velocity Ball A (meters per second) with entries negative 2, negative 0.5, positive 1, positive 1.5. The fourth column is labeled Final Velocity Ball B (meters per second) with entries negative 1, negative 0.5, negative 2, negative 1.5. Which trial shows the conservation of momentum in a closed system? Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Trial 4 Initial Velocity | Initial Velocity | Final Velocity | Final Velocity Ball A Ball 6 Ball A Ball B (m/s) (m/s) (m/s) (m/s) -1.0 -0.5 -2.0 -1.5
