AP Physics 1
4.4 Elastic and Inelastic Collisions
4.3 Conservation of Linear Momentum

| Total Final Momentum of System | Kinetic Energy Converted to Other Forms in Trial 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Row A | \(p_{\text{elastic}} > p_{\text{inelastic}}\) | \(\dfrac{1}{2}K_0\) |
| Row B | \(p_{\text{elastic}} = p_{\text{inelastic}}\) | \(\dfrac{1}{2}K_0\) |
| Row C | \(p_{\text{elastic}} > p_{\text{inelastic}}\) | \(0\) |
| Row D | \(p_{\text{elastic}} = p_{\text{inelastic}}\) | \(0\) |
Which row in the table correctly compares the magnitude of the total final linear momentum of the two-cart system for each trial (\(p_{\text{elastic}}\) and \(p_{\text{inelastic}}\)) and identifies the amount of mechanical kinetic energy converted to nonmechanical energy in Trial 2?
