It all depends on how you define the word, collision. From a medical standpoint, there is a collision every time your foot hits the ground, while walking or running, for instance.
Statistically speaking, you would be involved in a collision about ten times.
Statistically speaking, you would be involved in a collision about ten times.
We have to assume that both bodies are initially moving along the same straight line in opposite directions, so the collision is "head on". We also have to assume that the collision is "elastic", meaning that none of the original kinetic energy is lost to heat. The final momentum is 20 Kg-m/s in the direction opposite to the original 80 kg-m/s motion.
Yes you can as long as you have collision coverage and this will be considered an "at fault" accident.
Curb: Usually a hard lip or moulding that separates the road way from the pedestrian walkway.
Yes, momentum is conserved in an elastic collision, meaning the total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
kinetic (movement) energy is converted to sound energy due to the collision.
No, that would be a collision, and would be covered under the collision portion of the policy, and the collision deductible would apply. Collisions are also considered a chargeable claim for rating and insurability purposes.
Yes, kinetic energy is conserved in an elastic collision, meaning the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.
Momentum is conserved in a collision, meaning it cannot be created or destroyed. The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision in a system with no external forces.

In an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, meaning that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. However, in an inelastic collision, some of the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, so the objects involved stick together after the collision.
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved, meaning the total energy before and after the collision remains the same. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, and some of the energy is transformed into other forms, such as heat or sound. To determine whether a collision is elastic or inelastic, you can calculate the total kinetic energy before and after the collision. If the total kinetic energy remains the same, it is an elastic collision. If the total kinetic energy decreases, it is an inelastic collision.

In an isolated system, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved during a collision. Momentum is conserved because the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. Kinetic energy is conserved if the collision is perfectly elastic, meaning there is no energy lost to other forms (e.g., heat or sound).
