Question
Select True or False to each of the following statements about collisions. In order to receive credit for this question you must answer ALL statements correctly.
True False If two objects undergo a perfectly inelastic collision, they stick together after the collision.
True False In an elastic collision, total momentum is conserved.
True False In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved.
True False In a perfectly inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved.
True False In a perfectly inelastic collision, total momentum is not conserved.
Explanation / Answer
If two objects undergo a perfectly inelastic collision, they stick together after the collision -> True
In an elastic collision, total momentum is conserved -> True
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved -> True
In a perfectly inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved -> True
In a perfectly inelastic collision, total momentum is not conserved -> False
