Bouncing Flashcards
1
Q
Define a bounce
A
An object’s fall, hit and rebound to a maximum height
2
Q
Elastic colllison
A
No kinetic energy lost and hence no velocity lost
3
Q
Inelastic collision
A
Energy is lost to the environment as sound or heat , and hence velocity decreases
4
Q
Velocity for elastic collision
A
Rebound velocity is equal to impact velocity
5
Q
Velocity of inelastic collision
A
The rebound velocity is less than the impact velocity
