Front

How is kinetic energy affected in an inelastic collision?

Back

Kinetic energy is partially lost to other forms of energy.

Front

What is an elastic collision?

Back

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

Front

In what type of collisions, both momentum and total kinetic energy is conserved?

Back

Elastic Collisions.

What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?

Back

In elastic collisions, kinetic energy is conserved; in inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is not conserved.

What is a perfectly inelastic collision?

Back

A perfectly inelastic collision is a type of collision where the two objects stick together after colliding.

Front

What is the law of conservation of momentum?

Back

The total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy in a perfectly inelastic collision?

Back

Kinetic energy is not conserved; some is transformed into other forms of energy.
