Elastic Collision Quiz

What is the mass of the red cart involved in the collision?

• 500 grams

• 250 grams

• 1000 grams

• 750 grams

What happens to the two carts after the inelastic collision?

• They bounce off each other

• They stick together and move as one

• They stop moving

• They move in opposite directions

Before the collision, where is all the momentum concentrated?

• In the red cart

• In the blue cart

• In the surrounding air

• Equally in both carts

How does the mass of the combined carts compare to the original mass of the blue cart after the collision?

• It is the same

• It is twice the original mass

• It is three times the original mass

• It is four times the original mass

What is the relationship between the pre-collision and post-collision velocities of the blue cart?

• The post-collision velocity is one-fourth the pre-collision velocity

• The post-collision velocity is half the pre-collision velocity

• The post-collision velocity is twice the pre-collision velocity

• The post-collision velocity is the same as the pre-collision velocity
