10 Questions
Which law states that the total linear momentum of a system of particles cannot change if no net external force acts on the system?
Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum
What is an inelastic collision?
A collision where some of the kinetic energy is lost
What is a completely inelastic collision?
A collision where the particles stick together after the collision
What happens to the total linear momentum of a system of particles before and after a collision if the net external force on the system is zero?
It remains the same
