Watts (W)
2. Which of the following best describes an inelastic collision?
Kinetic energy is conserved.
Momentum is not conserved.
Objects stick together after impact.
Objects bounce off each other perfectly.
3. Impulse is defined as the change in and is equal to the product of force and .
4. The Law of Conservation of Momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum the collision.
5. A greater impulse always results in a greater change in momentum.
True
False
