Practice Test 2
Section 1
When two objects collide and stick together, we call the collision totally inelastic. By contrast, if two objects collide and bounce apart with no loss of total kinetic energy, then the collision is called perfectly elastic. 1.1 Cart 1 moves rightwards toward cart 2. Cart 2 is initially stationary. Consider the following two scenarios: (A) The collision is totally inelastic—the two carts stick together and move together to the right. (B) The collision is perfectly elastic—cart 1 bounces backward off of cart 2, moving to the left while cart 2 moves to the right. In both scenarios, cart 1 transfers some magnitude of momentum to cart 2. In which scenario do you think the momentum magnitude gained by cart 2 is greater? Explain your reasoning.
