What is the purpose of a free body diagram?
Two grocery carts have the same initial total momentum. The two carts collide, and now cart B has a greater final velocity.
What type of relationship exists between momentum and mass?
In a lab, two identical lab carts (m = 1.0 kg) travel toward each other, each with a speed of 2 m/s. The cars collide, and one cart moves to the right with a speed of 3 m/s and the other moves left with a speed of 2 m/s.
In an elastic collision, energy is conserved.
