Question
Answer carefully, with reasons: What are the answers to (a) and (b) for an inelastic collision?
✓
Answer
No; Yes. Explanation: In an inelastic collision, there is always a loss of kinetic energy, i.e., the total kinetic energy of the billiard balls before collision will always be greater than that after collision. The total linear momentum of the system of billiards balls will remain conserved even in the case of an inelastic collision.
