Question

lace each example of a collision in correct category. bumper cars colliding man jumping in a cab mud sticking to car hat being sat on door being slammed ball bouncing elastic inelastic perfectly inelastic

Answer 1

Answer:

bumper cars colliding- inelastic

man jumping in a cab- perfectly inelastic

mud sticking to car - perfectly inelastic

hat being sat on door being slammed- inelastic

ball bouncing- elastic

Explanation:

In a perfectly inelastic collision, the objects stick together after collision and move with a common velocity. Maximum kinetic energy is lost during such collision.

For an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is partly lost and the colliding objects move apart at different velocities. This is often encountered in real life situations.

For an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The object rebounds with the same relative velocity with which it approached.
