As long as there are no external forces, the total momentum of objects involved in a collision is conserved. The kinetic energy of those objects, on the other hand, is NOT always conserved. Physicists use the terms elastic and inelastic to describe the behavior of kinetic energy in a collision.
The ballistic pendulum is an example of a situation involving
combining energy and momentum Problems 1-5, (PE105, 45 min)
Some additional Energy Problems
