Conservation of Momentum
If the vector sum of external forces
is zero, the total momentum of the
system is constant.

Elastic Collision
Kinetic energy after the
collision is the same as
kinetic energy before.
(Conserved)
New velocities of objects
after an elastic collision:
v f 1=
v f 2=
Inelastic Collision
Kinetic energy after the collision is
less than kinetic energy before the
collision.
