Q: Which of the following statements most accurately generalizes your findings in the investigation above?
- In an elastic collision momentum and kinetic energy are conserved within the system boundary. In an inelastic collision momentum is conserved but kinetic energy may not be.
- In an inelastic collision momentum and kinetic energy are conserved within the system boundary. In an elastic collision momentum is conserved but kinetic energy may not be.
- In an elastic collision momentum and kinetic energy are not always conserved within the system boundary. In an inelastic collision momentum is conserved but kinetic energy may not be.
- In an elastic collision momentum is conserved within the system boundary but not kinetic energy. In an inelastic collision momentum is conserved.
A: In an elastic collision momentum and kinetic energy are conserved within the system boundary. In an inelastic collision momentum is conserved but kinetic energy may not be.
