Q#1: If momentum were conserved in each collision, what would youexpect the ratio of the
total momentum before the collision to the total momentum after thecollision to be?
Youmay find a small difference between the momentum before and themomentum after
thecollision due to uncertainty in the measurements or a smallexternal force on the carts
during the collision (rolling friction, friction in the axles, or aslight angle of the track).
Arethere any of your collisions where momentum is not conserved? Is this expected?
