1In Collision #1, the red cart (1 kg) travels at 5 m/s and hits a stationary blue cart (1 kg). If the red cart comes to a complete stop, which physical principle dictates that the blue cart must move away at exactly 5 m/s, assuming a closed system?
2Based on the quantitative evidence provided for Collision #1, what is the total system momentum after the collision?
3If the red cart's initial velocity were doubled to 10 m/s while maintaining its mass of 1 kg, what would be the initial momentum of the red cart?
4A student claims momentum is not conserved because the red cart's velocity changed from 5 m/s to 0 m/s. Which statement best rebuts this claim using the provided data?
5Calculate the final velocity of the blue cart if its mass were increased to 2 kg, assuming it was hit by the 1 kg red cart moving at 5 m/s and the red cart stopped completely.
6In the context of the provided experiment, what is the correct formula for calculating the momentum (p) of the red cart?
7During Collision #1, the red cart and blue cart have equal masses. If the red cart transfers all its momentum to the blue cart, the collision is most likely classified as:
8If the blue cart were moving at -2 m/s (toward the red cart) initially, and the red cart was moving at 5 m/s, what would be the total system momentum before the collision (both masses 1 kg)?
9Which unit is used to express momentum in the SPH4C simulation data provided?
10Suppose the carts stick together after the collision. If the total momentum before the collision was 5 kg·m/s and the combined mass is 2 kg, what is the final velocity of the coupled carts?
