Energy and Collisions

What is the term used to describe the resistance of an object to change its state of motion?

• Inertia

• Momentum

• Energy Transfer

• Collision

What happens when a moving object collides with an object at rest?

• The moving object stops completely

• Energy is transferred from the moving object to the object at rest

• The object at rest remains stationary

• Both objects move in opposite directions
