7Two objects move toward each other, collide, ad separate. If there was no net external force acting on the objects, but some kinetic energy was lost, then

- Bthe collision was elastic and total linear momentum was not conserved
- Cthe collision was not elastic and total linear momentum was conserved
- Dthe collision was not elastic and total linear momentum was not conserved
- ENone of these
8Three thin, uniform rods each of length L are arranged in the shape of an inverted U, as shown in the figure. The two rods on the arms of the U each have mass m; the third rod has mass 2m. How far below the midpoint of the horizontal rod is the center of mass of this assembly?

- B

- C

- D

- E

- A
9A car of mass 1,000 kg collides head-on with a truck of mass 2,000 kg. Both vehicles are moving at a speed of 21 m/s, and the collision is perfectly inelastic.

- B-73,500 J
- C147,000 J
