What happenes in an inelastic collision?

In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.


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.


What would have happened to the gas if the molecular collisions were not elastic?

In an inelastic collision, part of the kinetic energy is absorbed by the colliding objects, and converted into heat. For an inelastic collision to occur between molecules, the energy would need to be absorbed at some lower level.


What is the best example for transfer of momentum?

I don't think there is a "best example"; what is best may depend on the point you want to convey. However, in practice, both elastic and inelastic collisions are often used as examples.


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 are the examples of perfectly inelastic demand?

as quantity is totally unresponsive of price, consumer has no alternative in perfectly inelastic demand, he will pay any price for it. examples are air, water, electricity etc.


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.


Examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?

Continental- continental collisions, Continental-oceanic collisions,and Oceanic-oceanic collisions


Why the value of coefficient of restitution of a perfectly plastic impact is 0?

Physicists distinguish between elastic and inelastic (and partially elastic) collisions. If you mean "elastic", the coefficient of restitution is 1. If you mean "inelastic", the coefficient of restitution is 0.Why? Because that's how "elastic" and "inelastic" collisions are DEFINED. If all the kinetic energy is maintained, the coefficient (relative speed after collision, divided by relative speed before the collision) is 1 - i.e., no movement is lost. If it is zero, all the movement energy (relative speed) is lost.
