Momentum and Impulse

A marble moving at 0.2 m/s strikes another identical marble, which is at rest. If this is a perfectly elastic collision, which of the following statements best describe the marbles AFTER the collision?

• The moving marble bounces off in the opposite direction and the other marble remains at res

• The moving marble stops, and the other marble moves off at 0.2 m/s

• The moving marble moves forward at 0.1 m/s and the resting marble moves forward at 2 m/s

• The marbles stick together and move forward at 0.1 m/s

What is inertia

• Inertia is the property of matter that resists changes in motion

• Inertia is a collision that causes one or more objects to change velocity

• Inertia is change in momentum

• inertia is an increase in mass
