Topic: collisions in two Dimensions 1- Under what conditions are momentum conserved? 2- How do quantitively characterize elastic and inelastic collisions? 3-Are collisions between steel balls are 100% elastic? 4- how do you graphically represent vectors that have errors? 5- how do you propagate the errors in vectors
If the momentum of a system is conserved, is the momentum of each particle in the system necessarily conserved? Explain.
Collisions are classified as elastic (kinetic energy is conserved), inelastic (kinetic energy is lost) or completely inelastic (the objects stick together after collision). Give an example of each type of collision. Is momentum conserved in each case?
An experiment is performed aboard the International Space Station to verify that linear momentum is conserved during collisions in a zero-g environment. The experiment involves a 3-D completely inelastic collision of three drops of honey. At the moment just before they all collide, the masses and velocities of the drops are What is your prediction for the speed, V, of the combined honey drop after the collision? An experiment is performed aboard the International Space Station to verify that linear...
stion 5. Comment on momentum conservation for the inelastie collisions. » u can find patterns in momentum conservation according to whether one carton were moving before the collision, and whether the masses of the carts were ncany or very different. collisions. See if Fone cart or two were nearly equal Question 6. Explain what happens to the momentum in each of the cases. Loo the total momentum is divided un between the two carts after the collisions, compared to how...
Contrast and compare elastic and inelastic collisions. Question 4 options: Both elastic and inelastic collisions have conservation of momentum if there are no outside forces. They are different in that elastic collisions bounce and inelastic collisions stick, and kinetic energy is conserved in inelastic collisions. They are basically the same thing, except the units are different. Elastic collisions do not have conservation of momentum and inelastic collisions have conservation of momentum if there are no outside forces. They are different...
In a perfectly elastic collision Momentum is always conserved Momentum is conserved only if all objects in the interaction have the same mass The final momentum cannot be determined None of these are correct
Background Info: In this experiment you will observe and analyze elastic and inelastic collisions in one dimension and in two dimensions. You will measure the final momentum of a system after it explodes. You will see how both kinds of collision affect the kinetic energy of a system that consists of two frictionless carts. You will determine the momentum of two carts after they collide when one cart is initially stationary. You will analyze the results qualitatively as well as...
1) Under what circumstances is mechanical energy conserved? Under what circumstances is momentum conserved? How is this different than the criteria for conservation of mechanical energy?
Can someone explain this statement to me? "In conclusion the momentum is conserved in both systems of collision but some energy will be lost in an inelastic system."
