Question
select ways that momentum is lost in an inelastic collision (like when two football players collide). select all that apply. heat deformation sound rewatch submit
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and is transformed into other forms. Heat is generated due to friction and internal forces. Deformation (like the players' bodies or equipment changing shape) involves energy used to change the structure, and sound is produced as energy is transferred to create sound waves. All these processes represent ways momentum - related kinetic energy is lost (though total momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy associated with motion is converted, and these are manifestations of that energy loss in the context of the collision).
