A car, mass m 1 is moving to the right on a frictionless air track. It collides

Question

A car, mass m1 is moving to the right on a frictionless air track. It collides with a second car, mass m2, which is initially at rest. Which of the following statements are true? (If A and E are true, and the others are not, enter TFFFT).

A) If car 1 sticks to car 2, the car1-car2 system must move to the right after the collision.
B) If car 1 is much lighter than m2, and the collision is perfectly elastic, car 1 will continue heading to the right with nearly its original speed after the collision.
C) If car 1 sticks to car 2, the final total kinetic energy of the car1-car2 system is less than the initial total kinetic energy of the two cars.
D) If the collision is elastic, car 1 will never come to a stop after the collision.
E) Suppose (for this statement only) that car 2 was NOT initially at rest, but was instead heading towards car 1 with equal (but opposite) momentum before the collision. After the collision, the cars must both be at rest.

I need the correct answer to give full rating.

Explanation / Answer

F some of the original energy goes to bending and breaking.
T original momentum was to the right and must be conserved
T it's like hitting an elastic brick wall
F would be true only if they stick together
F it could turn out that all the original momentum is transfered to car 2, like the desk toy with swinging balls
