Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation problems.
1. Which of the following quantities is always conserved in any collision?
Kinetic energy
Momentum
Velocity
Acceleration
2. The product of an object's mass and its velocity is called .
3. An collision is one in which kinetic energy is conserved.
4. A 2 kg ball moving at 5 m/s collides head-on with a 3 kg ball moving at 2 m/s in the opposite direction. If the balls stick together after the collision, what is their final velocity?
5. In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved.
True
False
Match the term on the left with its definition on the right.
6. Impulse
a. A collision where objects stick together
7. Elastic Collision
b. Change in momentum
8. Inelastic Collision
c. A collision where kinetic energy is conserved
