Two carts on a frictionless track. Set masses and velocities, choose elastic, perfectly inelastic, or a custom coefficient of restitution, and compare momentum and kinetic energy before and after. Positive velocity is to the right.
t = 0.000 s
v1 v2 — velocity vs t
p1 p2 total — momentum vs t
KE1 KE2 total — kinetic energy vs t
