    B Velocity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Momentum Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Acceleration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In any collision, total momentum is conserved if no external force acts.   Momentum p = mv is a vector quantity.   This is based on Newton’s third law.   Energy may not be conserved in inelastic collisions, but momentum is.
