Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

In a perfectly inelastic collision between two objects, which quantity is conserved?

  1. Momentum only
  2. Both momentum and kinetic energy
  3. Kinetic energy only
  4. Neither momentum nor kinetic energy
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AMomentum only
In a perfectly inelastic collision, the objects stick together and kinetic energy is NOT conserved — some is converted to thermal energy or deformation. Momentum IS conserved as long as the system is isolated. Option A confuses inelastic with elastic collisions. Option B describes only elastic collisions. Option D incorrectly claims momentum is not conserved.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A 2 kg cart moving at 3 m/s collides with a stationary 2 kg cart, and they stick together. What is their combined velocity after the collision?

  1. 6 m/s
  2. 3 m/s
  3. 0 m/s
  4. 1.5 m/s
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D1.5 m/s
Using conservation of momentum: p_initial = (2 kg)(3 m/s) + (2 kg)(0) = 6 kg·m/s. After collision: (2+2)v = 6, so v = 1.5 m/s. Option A incorrectly assumes no momentum transfer. Option C doubles the velocity, confusing momentum with kinetic energy. Option D incorrectly assumes all momentum is lost.

US Common Core Common Core US Physics: Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions FAQ

How many US Common Core Common Core US Physics questions on Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions for US Common Core Common Core US Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real US Common Core paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for US Common Core Common Core students preparing for US Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions practice with other US Physics topics or even switch to a totally different US Common Core subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions questions aligned to the official US Common Core Common Core US Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published US Common Core Common Core US Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real US Common Core paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from US Common Core.
How is Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions typically tested on US Common Core Common Core US Physics papers?
Conservation of Momentum in Collisions and Explosions appears across multiple question types on real US Common Core Common Core US Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
