A ball hits the floor and rebounds after inelastic collision. In this case
A ball hits the floor and rebounds after inelastic collision. In this case
The momentum of the ball just after the collision is the same as that just before the collision
The mechanical energy of the ball remains the same in the collision
The total momentum of the ball and the earth is conserved
The total energy of the ball and the earth is conserved
A ball hits the floor and rebounds after inelastic collision. In this case
By the conservation of momentum in the absence of external force total momentum of the system (ball + earth) remains constant.
