In terms of conservation, what is the difference between an elastic and an inelastic collision?
Emily AbbateIn an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is conserved (momentum is always conserved).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A ball with a mass of #7# #kg# moving at #14# #ms^-1# hits a still ball with a mass of #15# #kg#. If the first ball stops moving, how fast is the second ball moving?
- Two cars collide head-on. In which of the following scenarios would you expect the occupants to suffer greater injury? If the cars stick together, or if the cars rebound?
- A 12,500 kg railroad car is rolling along a level track with a speed of 4.5m/s when it collides with a second stationary railroad car with a mass of 24,700 kg. The two cars lock together after the collision. Help? Questions in details
- A ball with a mass of #10kg# moving at #3 m/s# hits a still ball with a mass of #7 kg#. If the first ball stops moving, how fast is the second ball moving?
- A ball with a mass of #1# #kg# moving at #9# #ms^-1# hits a still ball with a mass of #21# #kg#. If the first ball stops moving, how fast is the second ball moving? How much kinetic energy was lost as heat in the collision?
