What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?
what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic 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, 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.
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?
The same
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).
