Inelastic Collisions Flashcards
1
Q
Two objects collide and remain stuck together.
A
Inelastic Collision
2
Q
Conservation Principles
A
Momentum is conserved.
Kinetic Energy is lost to deformation, heat, sound, etc.
3
Q
Equation for Inelastic Collision
A
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v’
4
Q
Variables: m1 v1 m2 v2 v'
A
Quanity: Mass of object 1(kg) Speed of object 1(m/s) Mass of object 2(kg) Speed of object 2(m/s) Velocity after collision (m/s)
