Question

A 4-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Both Gliders Moving with entries m (k g); v (m/s); p (k g times m/s). Column 2 is labeled Before Collision G 1 with entries 0.5; 3.00; 1.50. Column 3 is labeled Before Collision G 2 with entries 0.8; negative 3.00; negative 2.40. Column 4 is labeled After Collision G 1 plus G 2 with entries 1.3; negative 0.69; negative 0.90.
Consider the example data provided to complete the sentences.

After colliding, G1 + G2 travels in a(n)
direction as G1 travels before the collision, but at about
the magnitude in velocity.

The initial momentum of G2 (the magnitude or absolute value) is greater than G1 because its
is greater than G1.

The percent difference between the total momentum before and after the collision is
%.

Answer 1

After colliding, G1 + G2 travels in an opposite direction to G1 before the collision, but at about 0.23 (23%) of the magnitude in velocity (0.69 m/s vs 3.00 m/s).

The initial momentum of G2 (magnitude) is greater than G1 because its mass (0.8 kg vs 0.5 kg) is greater.

The percent difference between the total momentum before and after the collision is 0% (total momentum before = −0.90 kg·m/s; after = −0.90 kg·m/s).
