Alarge mass collides with a stationary, smaller mass. how will the masses behave if the collision is inelastic? they will collide and then separate. they will stick to each other and move together. the larger mass will stop and the smaller mass will start moving. the two masses will bounce off each other and move in opposite directions.

They will stick to each other and move together.

Explanation:

The difference between elastic and inelastic collision is:

- In an elastic collision, both the total momentum AND the total kinetic energy of the system are conserved - this occurs because the two objects, after the collision, continue separately, each one with its own motion.

- in an inelastic collision, only the total momentum is conserved, while the total kinetic energy after the collision is NOT conserved. This means that part of the kinetic energy is lost after the collision, and this occurs when the two objects stick to each other and continue their motion together.

a=d/t

a="triangle"v/t

explanation:

a = acceleration

we have been given a quadratic function and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either or , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

let us now solve this function for y.

hence, the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain of original function to and the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain to .
