Indicate true or false in the following statements:

Two particles can collide and one can leave at right angles to the other in a perfect inelastic collision.
Momentum is conserved in all collisions and kinetic energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions.
It is not possible for a one mass to transfer all its momentum to an identical but initially stationary mass.
For a pair of colliding particles, if there was zero total momentum in the x direction before a collision there will be zero after.
In a perfect inelastic collision momentum is not conserved.

Answer #1

here,

Two particles can collide and one can leave at right angles to the other in a perfect inelastic collision
this statement is incorrect ,as if the collison is perfectly inelastic , they will stick together


Momentum is conserved in all collisions and kinetic energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions
this statemnet is correct momentume remains conserved in all collisons

It is not possible for a one mass to transfer all its momentum to an identical but initially stationary mass.
this statement is false
it is possible when the collsion is perfectly elastic


For a pair of colliding particles, if there was zero total momentum in the x direction before a collision there will be zero after.
this statement is true
as the momentum remains conserved along the x direction


In a perfect inelastic collision momentum is not conserved.
this statement is false
as the momentum remains conserved in all collison

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 30 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.0 and 7.6 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 24 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.3 and 7.1 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...

Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false, concerning the kinetic molecular theory. True False  The particles are so small compared with the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be zero. True False  The molecules in a real gas have finite volumes and do exert forces on each other, thus real gases do not conform to some of the assumptions of an ideal gas as stated by the kinetic molecular...
