Two physics carts (both 100 g) with soft bumpers travel along a frictionless track toward each other at different speeds. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, which statement below is true (check one box)? The total kinetic energy before the collision equals the total kinetic energy after collision. The velocities of the carts have the same magnitude after collision. During the collision, the faster cart experiences a lower force. During the collision, the slower cart experiences a lower force.
