Question

Explain how momentum is conserved in collision of two bodies

Answer 1

Answer:-

A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. but in an inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision. the energy converted to sound, vibration ,heat energy . if the stress produced in this collision more than the maximum limiting stress then the object will deform.

Answer 2

In collisions between twoisolated objects Newton's third law implies that momentum is always conserved. ... Collisionsin which the kinetic energy is also conserved, i.e. in which thekinetic energy just after thecollision equals the kinetic energy just before the collision, are called elastic collision.
