They experience an inelastic collision. Describe the speed of the more-massive object 2. A less-massive object is moving in the same direction as a more-massive object, but with a higher g after the collision. 3. Objects 1 has half the mass of object 2 and the objects move toward each other and experience an inelastic collision. If both objects do not move after the collision compare the velocity of both objects before the collision. 4. Show mathematically the total momentum before the collision in trial #1 is conserved after the collision. 5. Compare the four elastic collisions with the four inelastic collisions. List any similarities and differences that you notice. How would you describe elasticity
