extend your answer to question 5: what will be the final velocity of cart b if it is infinitely more massive than cart a? what will be the maximum velocity of cart b when it is of infinitesimal mass compared to cart a?



Answer :

A common occurrence is the collision of a moving object with another object, after which both objects stick together. Because there is no bounce, such a collision is referred to as inelastic.

Inelastic collisions occur when kinetic energy is lost. An elastic collision, on the other hand, is one in which the kinetic energy after is equal to the kinetic energy before. Inelastic collisions occur when there is some "bounce" but the final kinetic energy is less than the initial kinetic energy. A collision with no bounce is sometimes referred to as completely inelastic. Collisions that are completely inelastic result in the objects sticking together and lose the most kinetic energy.
