Example of an inelastic collision

Example of an inelastic collision A pieces of putty is thrown against a box sitting at rest on a frictionless table. If the putty is twice the mass of the box, what is the speed of the box/putty combination compared to the original speed of the putty?. Impulse and Momentum.

  1. Example of an inelastic collision A pieces of putty is thrown against a box sitting at rest on a frictionless table. If the putty is twice the mass of the box, what is the speed of the box/putty combination compared to the original speed of the putty?

  2. Impulse and Momentum The total impulse acting on a systems is ALWAYS equal to the change in its momentum x-component Momentum Impulse

  3. Impulse and Momentum During collisions momentum is always conserved and kinetic energy is sometimes conserved Inelastic Collisions Elastic Collisions
