Q15: How did the two carts’ velocities changeas a result of the collision? Did this match your prediction forscenario (d)?
Q16: Using the table above, add together themomentum of the red cart and the blue cart to get the system’stotal momentum. Do this for both before and afterthe collision. Was momentum conserved in this collision?
Q17: Calculate the total kinetic energy of thesystem before and after the collision. Show yourwork below.
