Is a football tackle an elastic or inelastic collision and why?

A: elastic, because momentum is conserved

B: inelastic, because kinetic energy is conserved

C: inelastic, because momentum is not conserved

D: inelastic, because kinetic energy is not conserved

If the kinetic energy of an object changes, then the collision is considered inelastic. This is regardless of whether the objects sticks together or not.

My best answer for this question would be D) inelastic, because kinetic energy is not conserved.

We can tell from the collision that it is not elastic.

Momentum is is conserved, it transfers to the other player.

Kinetic energy is not conserved, at it turns into internal friction.

I hope this helps! :)

A football tackle is an inelastic collision , because kinetic energy is not conserved.

What is collision?

When two bodies or particles move towards enough to interact with each other it is called the particles or the bodies are colliding.

What are the types of collision?

  1. Elastic collision
  2. inelastic collision

What is an elastic collision?

  • In this type of collision , there is no loss of kinetic energy.
  • The momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved.

What is an inelastic collision?

  • in this type of collision , there is a loss of kinetic energy.
  • The momentum of the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved .

So, when the football tackles it's kinetic energy changes.

Thus, A football tackle is an inelastic collision , because kinetic energy is not conserved.
