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.
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.
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 the definition of inelastic?
The precise meaning depends on what field you are using it in. In physics a collision is described as inelastic if kinetic energy is not conserved (in other words, like a real collision). In economics it is used of demand or supply and means insensitive to changes in price or income.

Name a process in which momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved?
it occurs in case of inelastic collision
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.
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 happens to momentum in an inelastic collision?
Momentum of the system is conserved.Keep in mind kinetic energy of the system is not conserved
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.
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.

If two toy cars of the same mass are moving from the opposite directions will they collide at a half way point and what will happen after the collision?
Momentum will be conserved (it always is conserved). If the cars also move at the same speed, and the collision is inelastic, they will both stop completely.
