Show hintHide hint
Relate it to sports like billiards.
3Question 3.
What is conserved in all collisions?
- Kinetic Energy
- Momentum
- Velocity
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens before and after a collision.
4Question 4.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definitions of collision types.
Question 5.
Two carts collide elastically. Cart A has a mass of 2 kg and is moving at 4 m/s toward Cart B, which has a mass of 3 kg and is at rest. Calculate their final velocities after the collision.
Show hintHide hint
Set up the equations based on known quantities.
Question 6.
A 5 kg ball moving at 20 m/s collides with a 10 kg ball at rest. If the collision is completely inelastic, find the final speed and the kinetic energy lost.
