# In the figure, determine the character of the collision. The masses of the blocks, and the velocities before and after, are shown. The collision is

From the figure above, determine which characteristic fits this collision best.

- **A.** Completely inelastic.
- **B.** Elastic.
- **C.** Characterized by an increase in kinetic energy.
- **D.** Not possible because momentum is not conserved.
