→ Find the amount of KE lost in the collision.→ Is the collision elastic or inelastic?Collision 3:Cart 1Mass(kg)V i (m/s) V f (m/s) KE i(J)KE f(J)Cart 2Total Kinetic Energy of Cart 1 and Cart 2(Σ)Compare the initial and final total kinetic energy, (KE i to KE f ), of the two-cart system.→ Is the kinetic energy conserved? If kinetic energy is not conserved, wheredoes it go? (What form has it been converted to?)→ Find the amount of KE lost in the collision.→ Is the collision elastic or inelastic?Questions:1. Why can you ignore the potential energy of the carts?- 49 -
