In which of the following collisions is momentum not conserved?
In which of the following collisions is momentum not conserved?
Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions. During an elastic collision, kinetic energy is also conserved and the two objects remain separate after impact. During an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is lost to the surroundings and the objects traditionally stick together upon impact. The energy lost in an inelastic collision is generally transformed into heat or sound.
The only time momentum will not be conserved is when an outside force is introduced or the masses of objects do not remain constant.

Ball A, traveling 
to the right, collides with ball B, traveling 
to the left. If ball A is 4kg and ball B is 6kg, what will be the final velocity and direction after a perfectly inelastic collision?
Ball A, traveling
A perfectly inelastic collision is when the two bodies stick together at the end. At the beginning the two balls are traveling separately with individual momentum values. Using the momentum equation 
, we can see that ball A has a momentum of (4kg)(7m/s) to the right and ball B has a momentum of (6kg)(8m/s) to the left. The final momentum would be the mass of both balls times the final velocity, (4+6)(vf). We can solve for vf through conservation of momentum; the sum of the initial momentum values must equal the final momentum.
Note: ball B's velocity is negative because they are traveling in opposite directions.
The negative sign indicates the direction in which the two balls are traveling. Since the sign is negative and we indicated that traveling to the left is negative, the two balls must be traveling 2m/s to the left after the perfectly inelastic collision.

An object of mass
Momentum is given by the equation

The initial momentum is given by the sum of the initial momentums of the two objects. Because the second mass starts from rest, it becomes irrelevant in the equation.
After a perfectly inelastic collision, the two objects will stick together and their masses will add. The final velocity will apply to the combined mass of the two objects.
Since we know that 
, we can use our values from these calculations to solve for

The mass of the second object must be 2kg.

Use conservation of momentum in each direction: 
and 
The initial momentum in the x direction is provided only by the first object.
This also equals the final x-momentum, when the two objects move together at the same velocity.
The initial momentum in the y direction is provided only by the second object.
Again, this equals the final y-momentum.
Combine the two velocities using the Pythagorean theorem.

Two children are playing with sleds on a snow-covered hill. Sam weighs 50kg, and his sled weighs 10kg. Sally weighs 40kg, and her sled weighs 12kg. When they arrive, they climb up the hill using boots. Halfway up the 50-meter hill, Sally slips and rolls back down to the bottom. Sam continues climbing, and eventually Sally joins him at the top.
They then decide to sled down the hill, but disagree about who will go first.
Scenario 1:
Sam goes down the hill first, claiming that he will reach a higher velocity. If Sally had gone first, Sam says they could collide.
Scenario 2:
Sally goes down the hill first, claiming that she will experience lower friction and thus reach a higher velocity. If Sam had gone first, Sally says they could collide.
Scenario 3:
Unable to agree, Sam and Sally tether themselves with a rope and go down together.
If the hill is frictionless, what momentum does Sam experience when he reaches the bottom of the 50m hill on his sled in Scenario 1?

If the hill is frictionless, what momentum does Sam experience when he reaches the bottom of the 50m hill on his sled in Scenario 1?
The momentum is equal to Sam's total mass times his velocity. His velocity can be found from his potential energy, using conservation of energy. Keep in mind, his total mass includes the mass of his sled.
PE = mgh = (50kg + 10kg) * 10m/s2 * 50m
PE = 30,000J
KE = 30,000J = 1/2mv2 = 1/2(60kg)(v2)
v2 = 1000 m2/s2 = 31.2m/s
p = mv = 60 kg * 31.2 m/s = 1898 kg*m/s
If you had used 30J in place of 30kJ in the KE calculation, you would have chosen 60kg*m/s

Kinetic energy and potential energy are interconverted. While total energy is conserved, kinetic energy is allowed to increase or decrease, provided that potential energy does the opposite. For example, as the child in collision 1 is starting at the top of a ramp, she has potential energy, but no kinetic energy. At the bottom of the ramp, all the potential energy has been turned into kinetic energy.
Momentum, on the other hand, is conserved in every collision.

In a totally inelastic collision between two objects, all of the following are true, except that __________.
The difference between an elastic and inelastic collision is that in an elastic collision BOTH momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. Momentum is conserved in any collision, but when a collision is inelastic, kinetic energy is dissipated when the two individual objects combine. This energy can be in the form of heat, explosion, sound, etc. In a totally inelastic collision, the two objects colliding stick together and travel with the same velocity in one direction.
Overall energy is conserved, as the energy is merely transferred from a kinetic form to a non-kinetic form.

We can set this up as a conservation of momentum problem. The sum of the initial momentum for each object must equal the sum of the final momentum of each object.
We have two objects and four different velocities. The system must conserve momentum between the time before the collision and after the collision. We are given the mass of each object and their initial velocities.
We are given the magnitude of the billiard ball's final velocity, and told that it changes directions, thus becoming negative. Remember that both velocity and momentum are vector quantities.
Finally, we can solve of the final velocity of the bowling ball. We can predict that the bowling ball's velocity will be positive since the net initial velocity is positive, and the final billiard ball velocity is negative. The bowling ball must compensate for the negative momentum of the billiard ball.
