Lecture

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions: Kinetic Energy and Work

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of elastic and inelastic collisions, focusing on the conservation of kinetic energy and work done during the collisions. It explains the mathematical theorems related to these collisions and provides examples using a simple pendulum. The lecture emphasizes the distinction between elastic and inelastic collisions based on the energy conservation principles. It also discusses the variation of kinetic energy and work with respect to time and position, illustrating the concepts through calculations and observations.
