Inelastic Collision

Inelastic Collision

Inelastic collision An inelastic collision is a collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy. While momentum of the system is conserved in…
Elastic Collision

Elastic Collision

Elastic Collision When collision occurs between atoms or molecules and electrons, protons, neutrons etc. then total kinetic energy remains constant. This type of collision may…

Collision Definition

Collision Sudden and large change of motion of a body by force acting for a very short duration is called collision. When two objects hit…
Centrifugal Force

Centrifugal Force

Centrifugal force We know that for every body moving in a circular path a force act towards the centre of the circle i.e., a centripetal…
Centripetal Force

Centripetal Force

Centripetal force According to Newton’s first law due to inertia of motion a moving body always intends to move in a straight line with uniform…
Conservation of Angular Momentum

Conservation of Angular Momentum

Conservation of angular momentum From Newton’s first law for angular motion we know that change of angular velocity i.e., angular momentum occurs due to the…
