Question
Which of the following are the characteristics of an
inelastic collision? I. Momentum is conserved. II. Total energy is conserved. III. Kinetic energy is conserved. IV. All the forces must be of conservative nature. Choose the correct answer:Solution
In an inelastic collision:
- Momentum is always conserved.
- Total energy (including kinetic and potential energy) is conserved.
- Kinetic energy is not conserved because some energy is converted into heat, sound, or deformation.
- Not all forces need to be conservative in nature.
