PW02: Elastic - Inelastic Collision

Inelastic Collision

In an inelastic collision, the two objects stick together after the collision, forming a single object. Kinetic energy is not conserved in this type of collision, but momentum is still conserved ,this means that the total momentum of the system remains, but some kinetic energy is transformed into of energy

And consequently, the moment after the collision are:
