Question

Give an example of a collision in real life. Use the law of conservation of energy to describe the transfer of momentum. Be sure and discuss the momentum before and after the collision occurs. You will need at least 3 sentences to thoroughly answer this question.

Answer 1

Explanation :

Using the law of conservation of energy

When two cars collide with each other then the momentum is same before collision and after collision but energy is changed after collision in form of heat and sound.

We know this collision is inelastic collision.

In Inelastic collision, when two objects collide with each other then the momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
