• B. 12 kg m s^-1
• C. 6 kg m s^-1
• D. 4 kg m s^-1

6. The collision of the trolleys is inelastic. This means that....

• A. momentum is not conserved.
• B. kinetic energy is not conserved.
• C. the elastic energy is not conserved.
• D. the total momentum after the collision is negative.

7. A particle of mass m is accelerated to a velocity v. The momentum of the particle is p and the kinetic energy is k.

A second particle of mass ½m has the same momentum, p. This means the kinetic energy will be...

• A. ¼ k
• B. ½ k
• C. 2 k
• D. 4 k

8-10. A basketball of mass m is thrown to the right at a wall with a velocity of v. It rebounds at the same speed, moving to the left.
