What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?
In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that momentum before and after the collision is the same, and the objects bounce off each other without any loss of kinetic energy. In inelastic collisions, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not. Some kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision.
Special cases of inelastic collision?
A special case of inelastic collision would be no kinetic energy. This is when there is no energy.
What is the difference between inelastic collision and perfectly inelastic collision?
In an inelastic collision kinetic energy is lost (generally through energy used to change an objects shape), but the two objects rebound off each other with the remaining kinetic energy. In a perfectly inelastic collision the two objects stick together after the collision.
Elastic and inelastic collisions?
its a collision
What is the formula for inelastic collision?
The Formula For Inelastic Collision is here: m1(v1b)+m2(v2b)=m11(v1a)+m2(v2a)
How do you determine if a collision was elastic inelastic or perfectly inelastic?
just check momentum before and after and if they're the same then elastic if not then inelastic.
What is elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. This means that there is no net loss of energy during the collision. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, and some of the energy is transformed into other forms such as heat or sound.
What is the difference in elastic collision and inelastic collision?
Elastic collision transfers more energy into motion while inelastic transfers energy into deformation of the objects. Elastic could be called more efficient transfer.
In an inelastic collision the final total momentum is?
In an inelastic collision, the final total momentum is conserved. This means that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, even though kinetic energy may not be conserved.
Velcro cart to magnestic bumper cart collision is this an inelastic or elastic collision?
elastoc collision because they can stick together
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.
What is the momentum of marbles after collision?
Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).
