Answer:
The fractional kinetic energy will be lost if the collision is inelastic. In inelastic collision, the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy.
The lost energy became heat and sound energy.
Explanation:
During inelastic collision, the kinetic energy of a moving object does not conserve. It changes into another form of energy such as sound energy and heat energy etc.
For example, when a moving car hit another car or wall etc, the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy. This type of collision is inelastic collision.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
If the mass of an object is 
and the velocity of that object is 
, the linear momentum of that object would be 
.
Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive (
.) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be 
.
Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:
.
The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:
.
Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be 
.
