A student performs an experiment in which a 4kg object travels across a horizontal surface with an initial speed velocity of 6m/s and a 2kg object travels across a horizontal surface with an initial speed velocity of −3m/s. The objects travel toward each other and collide. Data collected from the experiment were used to create the velocity versus time graph shown that contains information about both objects before and after the collision. The positive direction is considered to be to the right. Which of the following statements are true regarding the data from the experiment? A- Both objects always travel in the positive direction during the experiment.

B- Kinetic energy is conserved during the experiment.

C- The position of the center of mass of the system remains constant during the experiment.

D- The velocity of the center of mass of the two-object system remains constant during the experiment.

The position of the center of mass of the system remains constant during the experiment.

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of the system before after collision is always conserved for both elastic and inelastic collision.

The total kinetic energy of the system is conserved for perfectly elastic collision BUT not conserved for inelastic collision.

The center mass of the system is always constant.

Thus, the position of the center of mass of the system remains constant during the experiment.

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
