Question

two balls have the same mass. one ball moving along the positive x-Axis and the other ball moving along the Y-axis undergo perfectly Inelastic collision. what can you say about the motion of the balls after the collision? A. the balls stick and move together. B. the balls separate immediately. C. the first ball stops while the other ball starts moving. D. The two balls travel off in opposite directions, 180 degrees apart. two balls have the same mass. one ball moving along the positive x-Axis and the other ball moving along the Y-axis undergo perfectly Inelastic collision. what can you say about the motion of the balls after the collision?

Explanation / Answer

A. the balls stick and move together

in perfectly inelastic collision there will be no relative seperation between bodies hence bodies stick together
