General Physics 2023-2024 - Collisions in One Dimension | 6.2 General Physics

Collisions in One Dimension Chad provides a thorough lesson on Collisions in 1-Dimension. He begins by providing the definition for an elastic collision, the definition for an inelastic collision, and the definition of a perfectly inelastic collision. An elastic collision is one for which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is conserved, while only momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions. A perfectly inelastic collision occurs when the object stick together after the collision and results in the maximum loss of kinetic energy. Chad then shows how to solve several physics collisions practice problems. He shows how to set up the conservation of momentum equation for a collision, and how to set up the conservation of kinetic energy equation for an elastic collision. The first physics collision practice problem involves a perfectly inelastic collision. The second physics collision practice problem involves an inelastic collision. The third physics collision practice problem involves an elastic collision. The last physics collision practice problem involves calculating the speed of a bullet. 00:00 Lesson Introduction 00:43 Elastic, Inelastic, and Perfectly Inelastic Collisions 05:51 Collisions Practice Problem #1: An Inelastic Collision 11:56 Collisions Practice Problem #2: A Perfectly Inelastic Collision 15:55 Collisions Practice Problem #3: An Elastic Collision 26:52 Collisions Practice Problem #4: Calculating the Speed of a Bullet Check out Chad's General Physics Master Course: https://www.chadsprep.com/physics-youtube #generalphysics #physicstutorial
