Relier Pairs DynamicsVersion en ligne reinforce the difference between inelastic and perfectly elastic collisions par Muhammad Kashif Jamal - 44214/Coordinator/BSSK 1 In all interactions or collisions, 2 Newton’s first law of motion: 3 Newton’s second law of motion: 4 In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. 5 Newton’s third law of motion: 6 Kinetic energy is conserved in a perfectly elastic collision; The resultant force acting on a body is equal to the rate of change of its momentum. momentum and total energy are conserved. relative speed is unchanged in a perfectly elastic collision. An object will remain at rest or keep travelling at constant velocity unless it is acted on by a resultant force. It is transferred into other forms of energy (such as heat or sound). Most collisions are inelastic. When two bodies interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite.
