MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

If two objects collide elastically and one is initially at rest, what can we say about their velocities after the collision in a one-dimensional scenario?

Both objects will come to rest.

The moving object will stop, and the stationary object will move with the velocity of the first.

Both objects will move with half of the original velocity.

It depends on the masses of the objects.

Two carts of equal mass collide elastically on a frictionless track. If one cart is initially at rest, what will happen after the collision?

The moving cart will stop, and the stationary cart will move with the same speed.

Both carts will move together at half the original speed.

The moving cart will continue with the same speed, and the stationary cart will remain at rest.

The carts will bounce off each other with the same speed in opposite directions.

What is the formula for calculating the conservation of momentum in a two-object system?

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1' + m2v2'

m1v1 - m2v2 = m1v1' - m2v2'

m1v1^2 + m2v2^2 = m1v1'^2 + m2v2'^2

m1 + m2 = m1' + m2'
