The collision between two helium atoms is perfectly elastic so that momentum is conserved?
Momentum is always conserved in any type of collision. Energy conservation, however, is dependant on elasticity. In a perfectly elastic collision all energy is 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.
Is the law of conservation of energy states the momentum is conserved in a collision?
False $manning boi the great$
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.
What is the most significant similarity between conservation of energy and conservation of momentum?
in law of conservation of energy ENERGY IS CONSERVED and in law of conservation of momentum MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED. There's not similarity in these two laws. expect that in both laws , one quantity is conserved.

Is momentum conserved in a perfectly inelastic collision?
In any physical process, momentum will always be conserved. Momentum is given by p = m*v. There is also something called law of conservation of momentum.

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.
Name a process in which momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved?
it occurs in case of inelastic collision
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.
What is always conserved?
There are several conservation laws in nature: conservation of mass, conservation of energy, of momentum, of angular momentum, of electric charge, and others.
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.
