  1. How does the center of mass velocity of the two objects which collide change during an elastic collision? Inelastic collision? Explain.

  2. In an inelastic collision, the forces between the two gliders are equal and opposite according to newtons 3rd law. What makes the energy gained by one object unequal (less) than the energy lost by the other in an inelastic collision?

How does the center of mass velocity of the two objects which collide change during an elastic collision? Inelastic collision?

The center of mass will follow the same path as a single particle follow. Before and after collision.

In an inelastic collision, the forces between the two gliders are equal and opposite according to newtons 3rd law. What makes the energy gained by one object unequal (less) than the energy lost by the other in an inelastic collision?

Because in inelastic collision, some of the energy is lost against external system, like friction. or the energy will converted into another form like sound energy or thermal energy or may be internal energy.

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg , is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1400 kg , is going from north to south at 14.0 m/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of...
