What Is The Collision
Two objects travelling at the same speed collide with no enegry being lost, causing the objects to bounce off of eachother and travel in opposite directions...
Perfectly Elastic Collision
The formula for momentum is...
p=mv
The quantity of motion of a moving body?
Momentum
A ball of clay collides into a ball of steel. During the collision the ball of clay deforms and experiences a loss of kinetic energy.
Inelastic Collision
The formula for force is...
f=ma
A push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object?
Force
Perfectly Inelastic Collision
A cargo truck must slow down long before a stop light because....
A collision in which the total kinetic energy of the colliding bodies or particles is not the same after the collision as it was before?
Inelastic Collision
When you throw a ball to the ground and it bounces back to your hand.
Elastic Collision
Any force that requires contact to occur is...
Contact Force
A force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it?
Non-Contact Force
Collision
A large force exerted over a short time, causes same changes in an object's momentum as a small force exerted over a longer time... is an example of what concept?
Impact Time Changes Force
A collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision?
