Chapter 11: Collisions

Online Concept Tutorials

Momentum in Collisions

This tutorial states the law of conservation of momentum and explains how to use it in solving problems pertaining to collisions. It also defines impulse forces and explores their nature. It concludes by categorizing collisions as elastic or inelastic.

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions

This tutorial discusses the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions, including how kinetic energy is lost in inelastic collisions. It discusses how to analyze elastic collisions using conservation of momentum with conservation of kinetic energy, and it discusses how to analyze both kinds of collisions using the center-of-mass frame.
