A pool player hits the cue ball so that it travels with a momentum of 5 kg*m/s striking a purple ball. The purple ball is at rest prior to the perfectly elastic collision. The momentum of the balls after the collision will be:
a) The cue ball’s momentum will be 5 kg*m/s. The purple ball’s momentum will be 5 kg*m/s.
b) The cue ball’s momentum will be 0 kg*m/s. The purple ball’s momentum will be 5 kg*m/s.
c) The cue ball’s momentum will be 5 kg*m/s. The purple ball’s momentum will be 0 kg*m/s.
d) The cue ball’s momentum will be 2.5 kg*m/s. The purple ball’s momentum will be 2.5 kg*m/s.

Cart A on a track travels with a momentum of 4 kg*m/s before striking Cart B. Cart B is at rest prior to the perfectly elastic collision. The momentum of the carts after the collision will be:
a) Cart A’s momentum will be 4 kg*m/s. Cart B’s momentum will be 4 kg*m/s.
b) Cart A’s momentum will be 0 kg*m/s. Cart B’s momentum will be 4 kg*m/s.
c) Cart A’s momentum will be 4 kg*m/s. Cart B’s momentum will be 0 kg*m/s.
d) Cart A’s momentum will be 2 kg*m/s. Cart B’s momentum will be 2 kg*m/s.
