- What is meant by an elastic collision? An inelastic collision? How would you describe the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?
- Why do you think the mass of the moving cart influences the movement of the stationary cart and the moving cart after the collision?
- Describe each of the six collisions in terms of velocity, mass, and momentum.
- What do you think would happen if two carts of the same mass traveling toward each other at the same speed were to hit in an elastic collision? In an inelastic collision?
