Question

You have been asked to analyze a collision at a traffic intersection. You would be better off a. Using conservation of momentum., because kinetic energy was probably not conserve during the collision b. using conservation of momentum, because while kinetic energy was conserved, it is difficult to make the equation for kinetic energy conservation work out C. using conservation of kinetic energy, because momentum was probably not conserva during the collision d. using conservation of kinetic energy, because while momentum was conserved, it is difficult to make the equation for momentum conservation work out

Explanation / Answer

Answer is a.

Because in every collision either it is elastic or non elastic momentum is always conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved in non elastic collision
