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.
In an inelastic collision the final total momentum is?
The same
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
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 happenes in an inelastic collision?
In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.
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.
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.
When two body collide .after collision they could move together then the colllision is?
In that case, the collision is said to be inelastic. The total kinetic energy gets reduced.
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)
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.
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.
