New cards

  • define a collision in two dimensions


  • when two objects collide → move apart in different planes

New cards

  • define a perfectly elastic collision


  • a collision where momentum, total energy, and kinetic energy are conserved


4
New cards

  • define an inelastic collision


  • a collision where momentum and total energy are conserved while kinetic energy is not
