Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Elastic collision

2. Inelastic collision    

Explanation:

Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision

the collision is described by the equation bellow

[tex]m1U1+ m2U2= m1V1+m2V2[/tex]

Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity

the collision is described by the equation bellow

[tex]m1U1+ m2U2= V(m1+m2)[/tex]
