a)
Momentum is conserved.  No external momentum is gained.  No momentum is lost.
b)
The total momentum before the collision is greater than the total momentum after the collision.
c)
The total momentum after the collision is greater than the total momentum before the collision.
d)
The total momentum before the collision is zero.  The total momentum after the collision is zero.
2.
Which is true about the total momentum during an inelastic collision?

3.
Which is true about the total kinetic energy during an elastic collision?
a)
KE is conserved.  No external KE is gained.  No KE is lost.
b)
The total KE before the collision is greater than the total KE after the collision.
c)
The total KE after the collision is greater than the total KE before the collision.
d)
The total KE before the collision is zero.  The total KE after the collision is zero.
