and thenucleus remains in the excited state. Thus whilemomentum is conservedin an inelastic collision, thekinetic energy of the “system” is not conserved.
An object has a kinetic energy of 255 J and momentum of magnitude 26.2 kg⋅m/s. Find the speed and the mass of the object. When objects stick together after colliding, (a) momentum is not conserved. (b) momentum is zero. (c) the collisi...
