Question
Think whether it is an elastic, inelastic, perfectly inelastic collision? Justify?
a. Cart 1 colliding with Cart 2 which is initially at rest (different masses)
b. Cart 1 colliding with Cart 2 which is initially at rest and cart B has a much greater mass
c. A collision between Cart 1 and Cart 2 where they stick together
d. An "explosion" of Cart 1 and Cart 2, when they start together at a resting initial velocity where Cart 1 has a spring plunger that starts the "explosion'
