Middle School Physical Science Flashcards: Predict Collision Motion

Study Predict Collision Motion in Middle School Physical Science with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

What is the acceleration ratio if two objects collide with the same force and masses $m_A$ and $m_B$ ?

ANSWER

$\frac{a_A}{a_B}=\frac{m_B}{m_A}$ . Equal forces and $a = F/m$ give inverse mass ratio for accelerations.

Two identical carts (same mass) collide on a straight track. Before the collision, Cart A moves right at

5\,\text{m/s}

and Cart B is at rest. Assuming a typical nearly elastic cart collision, which prediction is most reasonable for what happens right after the collision?
