Problem
A laboratory computer plots the total kinetic energy of a two-cart system as a function of time. Immediately after the carts interact, the graph shows the kinetic energy decreases to a lower value and then remains constant for the remainder of the run. Describe what this observation indicates about the type of collision that occurred.
