Questions:
1. Total momentum is unchanged after the collision, but the total KE drops significantly after
the collision.
2. Friction gradually reduced both the total momentum and total KE until both reach zero.
Friction reduced the momentum and KE more rapidly in the system with more mass (Part
B).
3. Other variables include vibration in the system and a small amount of elasticity in the
collision.
