What else can I help you with?
What other processes accompany this kind of collision?
Inelastic collisions typically involve the transformation of kinetic energy into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, or deformation of the objects involved. These collisions can also result in a change in momentum if the objects stick together after the collision. Additionally, inelastic collisions often involve the conservation of momentum but not necessarily the conservation of kinetic energy.
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.
How does momentum change after a collision?
In a collision, momentum is conserved. This means that the total momentum of the objects involved before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. The individual momenta of the objects may change based on the type of collision (elastic or inelastic), but the overall momentum remains constant.
Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.
Which physical quantity remains constant in an elastic collision?
In a uniform circular motion,the magnitude of velocity remains constant,that is speed is constant,however due to change in direction in circular path constantly the motion is accelerated due to change in velocity.
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.

What is perfectlyinelastic collision?
I'm not sure what you mean by "stronger" A perfectly inelestic collision is an ideal event in which none of the kinetic energy of the colliding bodies id tranferred into them as vibrations of their own molecules, i.e. transformed into heat. In an elastic collision, which always happens in the real world, some, or even all, of the kinetic energy of the two objects will be transformed into heat vibrating their molecules. This means that in an inelastic cillision, the bodies final velocities will add up to less than the total velocities that had before the collision, In the ideal state of an inelastic collision though, the sum of their final velocities must equal the sum of their final velocities.
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.
What happens to the price of a good in a market with perfectly inelastic supply when there is a decrease in demand for that good?
In a market with perfectly inelastic supply, the price of a good will not change when there is a decrease in demand for that good.

What are gas molecules colliding with no change in total energy?
When gas molecules collide without a change in total energy, it means that the collisions are elastic. In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules before and after the collision remains constant. This type of collision conserves energy and momentum.
There are three collisions that make up every collision What happens during the third collision?
During the third collision in a process like inelastic scattering, the particles involved can exchange energy and momentum to change their trajectories and states. This collision typically involves the most complex interactions and can result in the final outcome of the overall interaction between the particles.
When an egg breaks is it a chemical or physical changee?
Technically it's neither. It's actually a physics principal called an inelastic collision. It just the use of kinetic energy to break the intermolecular forces that hold the shell in one piece. I suppose you could consider it to the a physical change, because nothing changes on a chemical basis... But I would certainly argue that there is no "change" going on.
