    Undergrad Conservation of Mechanical Energy and Momentum in total inelastic collisions?

    Ok, thanks for talking physics with me...I need to get this Physics jargon down cus I'm struggling with this. All tips and info help at this point, so thanks again.

    Undergrad Conservation of Mechanical Energy and Momentum in total inelastic collisions?

    I understand the concept of conservation of energy: that it can neither, created nor destroyed...thus in the case of the collision that it has to go to some other system if its not in our system of interest such as the collision itself (thus energy leaving our system in the form of heat). The...

    Undergrad Conservation of Mechanical Energy and Momentum in total inelastic collisions?

    Conservation of Mechanical Energy and Momentum in total inelastic collisions? In an inelastic collision, such as a bullet getting stuck in a block hanging on a string, has two types of conservations? -Total Inelastic Collisision Conservations: (1) Conservation of Mechanical Energy: Uo+Po =...

    Two balls of different mass elastically collide

    Homework Statement A tennis ball of mass m_t is held just above a basketball of mass m_b. With their centers vertically aligned, both are released from rest at the same moment, so that the bottom of the basketball falls freely through a height h and strikes the floor. Assume an elastic...
