Science Education Conservation Of Momentum Inelastic Collision

Science Education Conservation Of Momentum Inelastic Collision. An inelastic collision is a collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy. Momentum is a vector quantity.

While momentum of the system is conserved in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not. Another week, another video lesson. An elastic collision between two objects is one in which total kinetic energy (as well as total momentum) is the same before and after the collision.
