Crash Amplify Article Force and Motion

Front

What happens when two objects collide and have different masses?

Back

The object with the smaller mass will move in the opposite direction due to the force of the collision.

What is the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions?

Back

The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Front

What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?

Back

In elastic collisions, kinetic energy is conserved; in inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is not conserved.

What happens to the speed of a moving object when it collides with a stationary object of equal mass?

Back

The moving object will stop, and the stationary object will begin to move with the same speed.

What is the effect of a slanted surface on the motion of balls in billiards?

Back

A slanted surface can change the direction and speed of the balls due to gravity.
