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
In an inelastic collision the final total momentum is?
The same
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 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 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.
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.
Can momentum be preserved in elastic and inelastic collision?
Not only can momentum be preserved; it will be preserved, no matter what. For more information, I suggest the Wikipedia article on "Conservation 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.
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.
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).
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.
