Read each question carefully and provide detailed answers. Show all your work for calculations. Remember to include units in your final answers.
1. In an elastic collision, which of the following quantities are conserved?
Kinetic energy only
Momentum only
Both kinetic energy and momentum
Neither kinetic energy nor momentum
2. What is the coefficient of restitution (e) for a perfectly inelastic collision?
e = 0
e = 1
0 < e < 1
e > 1
3. The product of an object's mass and its velocity is called .
4. In an isolated system, the total before a collision is equal to the total after the collision.
5. A 2.0 kg ball moving at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with a stationary 3.0 kg ball. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the final velocity of the combined mass?
6. Explain the concept of impulse in the context of a collision. Provide an example.
7. In all real-world collisions, some kinetic energy is lost to heat and sound.
True
False
8. The impulse experienced by an object during a collision is equal to its change in momentum.
True
False
Match each term on the left with its definition on the right.
9. Elastic Collision
a. A collision where kinetic energy is not conserved.
10. Inelastic Collision
b. A collision where both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
11. Impulse
c. The product of force and the time interval over which the force acts.
12. Analyze the collision scenario shown below. Describe the type of collision, what happens to the momentum and kinetic energy of the system, and potential factors influencing the outcome.
