Q

What are the 4 types of momentum collision?

A
  • an object hitting another object (transferring momentum)
  • two objects moving towards each other and colliding (total momentum before = total momentum after)
  • an object hitting another object and joining together (total momentum before = total momentum after)
    3) explosions (two objects moving apart due to a force
