(b) In order for a collision between two objects to conserve linear momentum, the product of the external forces acting on any part of the system and the time interval over which the collision occurs must be small compared to what measurable quantity of the collision? \( [0.5] \)
(b) Is it possible for a collision to be neither elastic nor perfectly inelastic? If "yes", give an example. [0.25]
Expert Answer
b) The product of force and time duration is defined as impulse. In case of collision, impulse on an object can be defined as product of average net f
