∙ 9y agoThe momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is the same as the momentum of the ball alone before the collision. This is referred to as the Conservation of Momentum.

Is momentum conserved in inelastic collision?
The energy of the momentum in a collision is conserved through the following occurrences; movement of vehicle(s) after impact, deformation of the vehicle(s) or objects hit, heat and sound.
How does a asteroid move through space?
momentum
What keeps asteroids moving through space?
the gravity of large masses. the large masses could be other planets or stars or our sun Their own momentum. other masses only deflect them by changing their momentum.
What is collision?
A collision is an isolated event in which two or more moving bodies (colliding bodies) exert forces on each other for a relatively short time.Although the most common colloquial use of the word "collision" refers to accidents in which two or more objects collide, the scientific use of the word "collision" implies nothing about the magnitude of the forces.Types of collisionsA perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. In reality, any macroscopic collision between objects will convert some kinetic energy to internal energy and other forms of energy, so no large scale impacts are perfectly elastic. However, some problems are sufficiently close to perfectly elastic that they can be approximated as such. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision. Momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions (as it is for elastic collisions), but one cannot track the kinetic energy through the collision since some of it is converted to other forms of energy.Collisions in ideal gases approach perfectly elastic collisions, as do scattering interactions of sub-atomic particles which are deflected by the electromagnetic force. Some large-scale interactions like the slingshot type gravitational interactions between satellites and planets are perfectly elastic.Collisions between hard spheres may be nearly elastic, so it is useful to calculate the limiting case of an elastic collision. The assumption of conservation of momentum as well as the conservation of kinetic energy makes possible the calculation of the final velocities in two-body collisions.
Does a rock by the side of the road have momentum?
Since the Earth is rotating, and moving through space, and the rock is moving along with the Earth, then it does, but relative to the Earth, I'd say that the momentum of the rock (mass * velocity) is essentially zero.

1 In a collision that is inelastic the total what after the collision is not the same as before the collision?
Hi, in line with Newton's laws of motion the momentum before and after a collision is always conserved (when no external force is applied to change the systems momentum). In elastic collisions we can apply the conservation of momentum and conservation of energy principles. In inelastic collisions we can only apply the conservation of momentum principle. Energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions because energy is lost through small deformations, noise, friction, etc. We can compute the coefficient of restitution that helps determine this degree of energy loss from impulse-momentum equations.
What will happen to the momentum of a moving object if stops without any collision?
You need to frame your question better. A movinng object will not change momentum unless a force acts upon it. A force could be supplied by many things including a collision, gravity, friction What evr happens, energy will be conserved. If friction through air reduces a body's momentum, then the momentum of the of the body will be transfered to momentum of the air particles (which is ultimately seen as heat, and is infact an increase in speed and hence momentum of the molecules
Why do molecules in the air cause air resistance?
Imagine trying to calmly proceed through a moonbounce full of sugar-high first graders. There will be some collision. The object (you) moving through the air (moonbounce) will lose momentum because of these collisions.
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is sound. :)
Conservation of linear momentum and energy?
energy transfer through transferring momentum. karim khan
What does it means to say that momentum or any quantity is conserved?
In a closed system, the TOTAL initial momentum before an "event" is the same as the TOTAL final momentum (at the end).
How does a asteroid move through space?
momentum
Is there any collision of molecules in diffusion?
There is constantly collision of molecules no matter what process they are going through
Does a plane flying through the air have a momentum of zero?
No, it does not have a momentum of zero because the formula for momentum is p = m x v, therefore since the plane has a mass and it is moving, there is momentum.*p = momentum*m = mass (kg)*v = velocity (m/s)
Are you at fault if you pull through end to end parking spaces and a person entering the space from the travel lane collides with you?
no!
At what points does a roller coaster gain acceleration?
okay they gain their momentum from the launch point take the hulk for example it gains a great amount of acceleration from the launch. and that momentum goes on through the ride. manta however gains its momentum through the pretzal loop.
