Physics

Describe elastic, inelastic, and completely inelasticcollisions. Which type of collisions are you going to investigatein the lab?

Do you expect the linear momentum of the system to be conservedin your experiment?In which part? Explain why.

Do you expect kinetic energy of the system to be conserved inyour experiment? In which part? Explain why.

In one trial for inelastic collisions in the experiment, cart 1has mass m1 and is initially moving with velocity v ⃗_1i to theright. Cart 2 with mass m2 is initially moving with velocity v ⃗_2ialso to the right. The velocity of the cart 1 is larger than thevelocity of cart 2 causing a collision between both carts. Afterthe collision, the carts stick together and move with velocity v⃗_f to the right.

Write down the expression for the magnitude of linear momentumof the system before collision.

Write down the expression for the magnitude of linear momentumof the system after the collision.

Write down the expression for the magnitude of kinetic energy ofthe system before collision.

Write down the expression for the magnitude of the kineticenergy of the system after the collision.
