Figure P4.9 is the position-versus-time graph for a collision, along a straight line, between two identical amusement-park bumper cars A and B. The inertias of the passengers are different.

(a) Which post-collision solid line is a continuation of the dotted line for car A? Which is a continuation of the dashed line for car B?

(b) Which car contains the passenger having the greater inertia?
