Want this question answered?
Momentum is always conserved in any type of collision. Energy conservation, however, is dependant on elasticity. In a perfectly elastic collision all energy is conserved.
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.
Momentum is always conserved. No matter what the collision, as long as you look at everything involved, momentum will always be conserved.
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.
it occurs in case of inelastic collision
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.
Momentum is always conserved
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.
Nah, brah. Momentum and kinetic energy are conserved, but velocity is not. Correct me if I am wrong but from how I interpret this, any collision cause the colliding bodies to change their direction. Thus velocity, which is a vector quantitiy containing direction, is by definition changed in an elastic collision. I guess speed, which is the magnitude of the velocity, can be considered as being conserved?
Total momentum
it is only conserved in a percectly elastic 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.
