Ineslastic examples | Problem
Consider collisions.
Which of the following are examples of a fairly (or completely) inelastic collision?
Two falcons colliding and locking their talons
Firecracker exploding into many pieces
Two electrons scattering off each other
An asteroid coming close to Earth, being redirected on its path
Two football players colliding and bouncing off each other
A car crashing into a barrier
Billiard balls colliding
Two falcons colliding and locking their tails -Fairly Inelastic
(Energy is lost)
Firecrackers exploding - Completely inelastic( Energy is not
conserved ( energy is gained ) )
Two electrons scattering - Energy is conserved so elastic
collision
Asteroid coming close to the earth and being redirected - Elastic
collision as energy isn't lost or gained
Two football players colliding and bouncing off each other - Fairly
Inelastic collision
A car crashing into a barrier - Completely Inelastic
Collision
Billiard balls colliding - Fairly Elastic collision
