How does a graph of an inelastic collision look like? I've searched through the web and found 2 possible answers, but obviously there's only one answer.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There are many answers. It depends which type of graph you draw.
Displacement-time
velocity-time
velocity-displacement
acceleration-time
acceleration-displacement
kinetic energy-time
etc etc
 
From the title, I was asking for the distance vs time graph of an inelastic collision.
