Which type of collision conserves BOTH momentum and kinetic energy?
Below is a picture of two carts before and after a collision.
Draw arrows showing the direction and relative size of momentum for each cart before and after the collision. Label your arrows for Cart 1 and Cart 2.
A
On a scale of
Explain, using conservation of momentum, why a car crumpling in a crash might actually be safer than a car that stays rigid and bounces back.
In your explanation, connect your reasoning to change in momentum and the time of collision (impulse).
