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."
Solution:
When no external forces act , the objects involved in a collision are together called a system . Their kinetic energy will be transformed into other forms during the inelastic collision . So it is not conserved.
Inelastic collision is one in which the colliding objects will move with a common velocity after the collision.
When no external forces act , the initial momentum before collision = Final momentum after the collision.
If two objects have masses m1 and m2 , and initial velocity v1 & v2, after colliding , they will have a common velocity V .
m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1+m2) V , according to momentum conservation. Momentum of a system is always conserved as long as No external forces act.
but kinetic energy is not conserved because Energy is converted to other forms
Since each individual mass will have a common final velocity ,which is Lesser than their initial velocities, the total final Kinetic energy is less than the total initial kinetic energy.
Iniital kinetic energy = 1/2 m1 v12 + 1/2 m2 v22 ..
Final kinetic energy = 1/2 (m1+m2) V2 . , which is always less than the initial kinetic energy because there will be loss in the form of heat , sound etc. Because there is loss , it is said that kinetic energy is Not conserved in an Inelastic collision.
During an Elastic collision, momentum and kinetic energy of the system are conserved. That implies the momentum of the objects before a collision is equal to the momentum of the objects after the collision. And the kinetic energy before a collision is equal to the kinetic energy after the collision.
If Kinetic energy is not lost during a collision , such a system is said to have undergone an Elastic collision.

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?
Question 3: (2 pts.) When can you assume that momentum is conserved and the momentum before a collision and momentum after a collision should equal the same value? Explain using concepts of net force on the system of two carts as well as the forces on each individual cart.
4 pts Question 1 Which of these statements is TRUE for perfectly elastic collision? OOnly momentum is conserved OBoth momentum and Kinetic energy are conserved OOnly kinetic energy is conserved None of the above Question 2 4 pts Which of these statement is TRUE for a perfectly inelastic collision? Only momentum is conserved None of the above Only Kinetic energy is conserved Both momentum and Kinetic energy are conserved
Kinetic energy is only conserved in an inelastic collision. True False Two objects collide ans stick together. This is an elastic collision. True False Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions. True False
Momentum and kinetic energy are both calculated from the mass and velocity of an object. If mass is conserved during a collision, explain how momentum may be conserved but not kinetic energy.

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...
C What is conserved in the following cases (linear momentum, angular momentum about an axis, mechanical energy, tionle kinetic energy, none of these)? There may be more than one conserved quantity. For this question, you do not have to show your reasoning (a) Two masses are released from rest, from the positions shown in the figure, in a frictionless hemispherical bowl. The masses collide and stick together. Note that the circular motion is characterized simultaneously by the linear and angular...
