There are 3 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Law of Conservation of Momentum and Kinetic Energy. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Law of Conservation of Momentum and Kinetic Energy and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Law of Conservation of Momentum and Kinetic Energy. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
In the previous tutorial "Collision and Impulse", we stated that in absolutely elastic collisions, immediately after the impact occurs, an object has the same kinetic energy as it had before the collision. However, this does not seem the case in other types of collision. The reason of this inconsistency will be explained in this tutorial.
Also, we will see what happens with momentum in such cases. Does it remains numerically unchanged (is it conserved) or not?
Let's have a deeper look at such events to answer the above questions.
