During a classroom activity a suction-cup dart with mass of m was launched at a stationary cart that had a mass of 5m. Four students observed the event, and their descriptions are shown in the table.
Which student best described the momentum, kinetic energy, and velocity of the system before and after the collision?

Student 2: Momentum isnt conserved / KE is / final v is less
Student 3: Momentum is conserved / KE is / final v is more
Student 4: Momentum isn't conserved / KE isnt / final v is more
A car traveling on a level road initially has 440 kJ of mechanical energy. After the brakes are applied for a few seconds, the car has only 110 kJ of mechanical energy. What best accounts for the missing mechanical energy?
Half the missing mechanical energy has been converted to heat energy, and the other half has been destroyed.
Most of the missing mechanical energy has been converted to gravitational potential energy.
Half the missing mechanical energy has been converted to kinetic energy, and the other half has been converted to potential energy.
Most of the missing mechanical energy has been converted to heat energy through friction.
The pressure of a gas is increasing within a sealed container of fixed volume. Four students are asked to explain what must be happening on a molecular level for this to occur. The student's explanations are shown in the table.
Which student best explains the increase in gas pressure?
Student 1
Student 2
Student 3
Student 4
A student pulled a 100 kg cart up a ramp using a force of 150 N. By the time the cart reached the top of the ramp, it had gained 980 Joules of potential energy. What happened to the work the student did by pulling the cart?
The work done on the cart was equally divided between the cart's potential and kinetic energy.
Some of the work done on the cart became the cart's potential energy, and some of the work was converted into heat by friction.
The cart had no kinetic energy at the top of the ramp because all the work done on the cart was converted into heat by friction.
All the work done on the cart was transformed into the cart's potential energy.
The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

In any cyclic process the entropy will either increase or remain the same. Entropy: a state variable whose change is defined for a reversible process at T where Q is the heat absorbed. Entropy: a measure of the amount of energy which is unavailable to do work. So if I boil water and place it into a cup, the heat will move from the water to the cup until it reaches equilibrium. What Law is this?
