Welcome to our Physics lesson on What can we say about impulse in inelastic collisions?, this is the fourth lesson of our suite of physics lessons covering the topic of Collision and Impulse. Types of Collision, you can find links to the other lessons within this tutorial and access additional physics learning resources below this lesson.
If the collision time interval is prolonged, we cannot speak anymore for impulse, as impulse takes place only when a force is exerted in a very short time interval on an object. Therefore, we cannot discuss about impulse in inelastic collision because in such collisions, the objects stick together after the impact and as a result, the impact time practically extends at infinity if no other force in the opposite direction is exerted to detach them.
You have reached the end of Physics lesson 6.6.4 What can we say about impulse in inelastic collisions?. There are 4 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Collision and Impulse. Types of Collision, you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
