Question

Background: In this experiment you will observe and analyze elastic and inelastic collisions in one
dimension and in two dimensions. You will measure the final momentum of a system after it
explodes. You will see how both kinds of collision affect the kinetic energy of a system that
consists of two frictionless carts. You will determine the momentum of two carts after they
collide when one cart is initially stationary

Question: What constitutes "the system" whose momentum we are examining in this experiment to see if it is conserved?

Explanation / Answer

we are examining the momentum of two carts in both type of collision momentum of system alwyas conserved.

so intially we took momentum of carts then finally took the combine momentum of carts and we will see that both quantity are same. so we can momentum of system will conserve
