1. A toy car of mass 2.0 kg moving to the right with a speed of 8.0 m/s collides perfectly inelastically with another toy car of mass 3.0 kg that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.0 m/s. Find the magnitude and the direction of the velocity of the system Immediately after the collision.
2. In an elastic collision of two objects,
a. momentum is not conserved.
b. momentum is conserved, and the kinetic energy after the collision is less than its value before the collision.
c. momentum is conserved, and the kinetic energy after the collision is the same as the kinetic energy before the collision
d. the kinetic energy of the system after the collision depends on the masses of the objects
3. Object 1 has more kinetic energy than Object 2. How do the magnitudes of their momenta compare?
a. P1=P2
b. P1>P2
c. p1 ≥ p2
d. not enough information given to tell
