Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.
1. In an elastic collision, which of the following quantities are conserved?
Momentum only
Kinetic energy only
Both momentum and kinetic energy
Neither momentum nor kinetic energy
2. Which type of collision typically involves objects sticking together after impact?
Elastic collision
Inelastic collision
Both elastic and inelastic
Perfectly elastic collision
3. The total of a system remains constant in any collision, provided no external forces act on the system.
4. In a perfectly collision, kinetic energy is conserved.
5. The law of conservation of is a fundamental principle in physics.
6. In all inelastic collisions, some kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound.
True
False
7. The momentum of an isolated system is always conserved, regardless of the type of collision.
True
False
8. Differentiate between an elastic and an inelastic collision. Provide an example of each.
9. A 2 kg ball moving at 5 m/s collides head-on with a stationary 3 kg ball. After the collision, the 2 kg ball rebounds at 1 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the 3 kg ball after the collision. (Assume a perfectly inelastic collision for simplicity if you need to, but aim for a general momentum conservation approach).
Match each term on the left with its definition on the right.
10. Momentum
a. A collision where kinetic energy is conserved.
11. Elastic Collision
b. The product of an object's mass and velocity.
12. Inelastic Collision
c. A collision where kinetic energy is not conserved.
