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.

∙ 9y agoYes. Momentum is ALWAYS conserved. Total energy is also always conserved, but in the case of collisions, that doesn't help much for calculations. What is not conserved in an inelastic collision is total mechanical energy.

Name a process in which momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved?
it occurs in case of inelastic collision
Is momentum conserved in a perfectly inelastic collision?
In any physical process, momentum will always be conserved. Momentum is given by p = m*v. There is also something called law of conservation of momentum.
Comparison between elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, all initial kinetic energy is fully restored as final kinetic energy. where nothing is converted into noise, heat or any other form of energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is "lost" to thermal or sound energy.
During the interval of collision is the momentum conserved?
well i know momentum remains same before and after collision... But what about the period during which collision takes place?
The momentum before a collision of three objects is always greater than tha momentum after the collision?
No. Newton's first law of motion states that the momentum of a system is conserved as long as there's no external force being applied on the system.

Distinguish beween and elastic and inelastic collision for wich type of collision is momentum conserved?
Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions. Mechanical energy is conserved only in elastic collisions. In inelastic collisions, part of the energy is "lost" - usually most of it would be converted to heat, eventually.
What happens to momentum in an inelastic collision?
Momentum of the system is conserved.Keep in mind kinetic energy of the system is not conserved
What is elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, no kinetic energy is lost, and the relative speed of separation of the objects after the collision is the same as the relative speed before the collision. In an inelastic collision, part of the elastic energy is lost, and the relative speed after the collision is less.
In a collision what is conserved?
Momentum is conserved in a collision. If two cars have the same mass and are traveling at the same speed and collide headfirst, the momentum of both cars cancel each other out and they will be motionless. If one has greater speed or mass than the other, it will still have the difference in momentum after the collision.
What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?

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.
Which of the conservation law does not apply to an inelastic collision?
Both conservation laws are applied. The conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. However, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. But total energy IS CONSERVED and the principle of conservation of energy does hold.
Does momentum conserved during collisions?
Energy, if collision is rigid, total momentum is a constant also.
When momentum can be conserved?
Momentum is always conserved. No matter what the collision, as long as you look at everything involved, momentum will always be conserved.
What happens to the vehicles in a collision and the principles of elastic and inelastic collisions?
When the collision is perfectly elastic then energy is not lost but exchanged between the bodies collided. So total KE would remain the same before and after collision. But in case of inelastic collision, there would be loss of energy in the form of heat or sound or vibration etc etc. But whether collision is elastic or inelastic the momentum is conserved. That is, the total momentum in a given direction would be the same before and after collision.
