What is conserved during collisions?
Linear momentum.
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.
A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?
Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.
When momentum can be conserved?
Momentum is always conserved. No matter what the collision, as long as you look at everything involved, momentum will always be conserved.
Would no momentum be conserved for the system if momentum were not a vector quantity?
Momentum would be conserved.
What is conserved during collisions?
Linear momentum.
During the interval of collision is the momentum conserved?
well i know momentum remains same before and after collision... But what about the period during which collision takes place?
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 Does it Men To Momentum is Conserved?
When momentum is conserved, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.

Would no momentum be conserved for the system if momentum were not a vector quantity?

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.

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.
When to use law of momentum to find velocity rather than law of conservation of energy?
While energy is ALWAYS conserved, this isn't always useful for calculations, since MECHANICAL ENERGY - the energy that can be easily calculated - is NOT always conserved. On the other hand, momentum is always conserved, whether a collision is elastic or inelastic. (In an elastic collision, energy is also conserved.) Thus, conservation of momentum is often more useful for calculations involving collisions.
