When is the momentum of a system conserved? (a) Momentum is a conserved quantity, so it’s always conserved (b) Only during collisions (c) Only if the net internal force on the system is zero (d) Only if the net external force on the system is zero
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
A substantial amount of KE was lost in your inelastic collisions. Since momentum was largely conserved, we know that external forces were not very significant. Where did the lost KE go?
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?

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...
Elastic collisions: one at rest one moving, two colliding, both initially moving the same direction. Inelastic collisions: one at rest one moving, two colliding, both initially moving the same direction. Perfectly elastic collisions: one at rest one moving, two colliding, both initially moving the same direction. Questions1. Was momentum conserved for all types of collisions you examined in this experiment? If not, explain the cause of losing orgaining momentum.2. Was total velocity conserved for all types of collisions you examined...
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
