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: A — Momentum 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.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Cart A (mass 3 kg) moves at 4 m/s and collides elastically with stationary Cart B (mass 3 kg). After the collision, Cart A is at rest. What is Cart B's velocity?

  1. 1.3 m/s
  2. 4 m/s
  3. 2 m/s
  4. 12 m/s
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 4 m/s
Using conservation of momentum: (3)(4) + (3)(0) = (3)(0) + (3)v_B → 12 = 3v_B → v_B = 4 m/s. In an elastic collision between equal masses, all velocity transfers to the second object. Option A incorrectly splits velocity equally. Option B multiplies mass by velocity incorrectly. Option D divides initial momentum by total mass as in an inelastic collision.

US Common Core Common Core US Physics: Momentum and Collisions FAQ

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 Momentum and Collisions 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 Momentum and Collisions 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 Momentum and Collisions typically tested on US Common Core Common Core US Physics papers?
Momentum and Collisions 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.
