A totally inelastic collision is a type of collision in which two objects collide and then stick together, moving as a single combined mass after the impact. In this type of collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, although momentum is conserved. The total kinetic energy after the collision is less than the total kinetic energy before the collision due to the conversion of some energy into other forms, such as heat or deformation. Total inelastic collisions are characterized by maximum energy loss compared to other types of collisions.

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
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.
Why can an explosion be considered and inelastic collision in reverse?
In a normal perfectly inelastic collision, objects stick together, and there is damage done. Kinetic energy is not conserved, but momentum is. However, an explosion is a perfectly inelastic collision in reverse, because instead of having objects coming at each other and sticking together, the objects are already stuck together, and fly apart. The equation for this is [m1 v1 + m2 v2] = [m1 + m2]*v The damage done would be the chemical reaction involved. Atoms were at first stuck together, but there was a chemical reaction [aka "damage" because atoms were changed], and then the atoms fly apart. Thus, a perfectly inelastic collision in reverse. Be careful how you use the physics terms; it's not an inelastic collision [that's when objects impact then part].
What is the coefficient of restitution in elastic inelastic and plastic collision?
With a plastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0. With an elastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0<e<1. With an inelastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 1.
How can you determine whether a collision is elastic or inelastic?
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved, meaning the total energy before and after the collision remains the same. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, and some of the energy is transformed into other forms, such as heat or sound. To determine whether a collision is elastic or inelastic, you can calculate the total kinetic energy before and after the collision. If the total kinetic energy remains the same, it is an elastic collision. If the total kinetic energy decreases, it is an inelastic collision.
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.
How does the conservation of momentum apply in an inelastic collision?
In an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, meaning that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. However, in an inelastic collision, some of the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, so the objects involved stick together after the collision.
What happens to the total energy in an inelastic collision?
In an inelastic collision, some of the total energy is transformed into other forms such as heat or sound, resulting in a decrease in the total energy of the system.
Is the total energy conserved in an inelastic collision?
In an inelastic collision, the total energy is not conserved because some of the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound.
What is conserved in an inelastic collision and how does it affect the outcome of the interaction?
In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved. This means that the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. The conservation of momentum affects the outcome of the interaction by determining how the objects move and interact with each other after the collision.
What is the relationship between kinetic energy and the conservation of momentum in an inelastic collision?
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved because some of it is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound. However, momentum is always conserved in any type of collision, including inelastic collisions. This means that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, even if kinetic energy is not conserved.
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.
What happenes in an inelastic collision?
In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.
Do objects in an inelastic collision stick together?
In an inelastic collision, objects stick together after colliding.
Why is kinetic energy lost in an inelastic collision?
Kinetic energy is lost in an inelastic collision because some of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision. This results in a decrease in the total kinetic energy of the system after the collision.
Do objects in an inelastic collision stick together after the impact?
In an inelastic collision, objects stick together after the impact.
