Q

State the law of conservation of momentum

A

It states that the total momentum of colliding bodies before impact is equal to the total momentum after, provided that there were no external forces acting on the system of colliding bodies.

17
Q

When is collision said to be elastic?

A

It is elastic when there is no energy lost after collision and the kinetic energy remains the same.

18
Q

When is collision said to be inelastic?

A

It is inelastic when there is no energy lost after collision and the kinetic energy changes.
