Nov 29, 2025 · What is "steady state", "no motion", and "resulting torques"? Since you have posted a labeled diagram, why don't you use those symbols in your text? Can you write down the formulas for …
Is energy really conserved? - Physics Forums
Nov 29, 2025 · I built a device designed to brake angular velocity which seems to work based on below, i used a flexible shaft that could bow up and down so i could visually see what was happening for the …
How is momentum conserved if you lose kinetic energy?
Dec 18, 2018 · The energy component of KE is the velocity. Momentum is mass x velocity so, in a collision containing in-elasticity, if KE is lost to heat then that heat energy must have been supplied …

Why momentum is conserved when a gun fires? (conceptual question)
Aug 8, 2023 · I understand that conservation of motion comes from the action and reaction pairs of newton's third law. When it is triggered, two forces appear that cancel when analyzed as a system. …
Why is KE not conserved when momentum is? • Physics Forums
Jul 18, 2022 · In elastic collisions, both kinetic energy (KE) and momentum are conserved, with bodies exchanging velocities, while in inelastic collisions, only momentum is conserved, resulting in a loss of …
AZING!Where Does Kinetic Energy Disappear in Inelastic Collisions?
Jan 4, 2005 · In inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is not conserved because some of it is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or deformation of the colliding objects. For example, when a …
Meaning of the word "conserved" in relativity • Physics Forums
Nov 24, 2019 · The word "conserved" simply isn't applicable to quantities that aren't additive. The mass of an isolated system is not necessarily conserved because various internal processes can cause the …
Why is Momentum Not Conserved in a Ball of Clay Colliding with a …
Oct 31, 2010 · Momentum is not conserved in the collision of a ball of clay with a wall because the clay stops moving after impact, indicating an external force is acting on the system. The clay deforms …
How to Better Define Information in Physics
Jun 20, 2018 · Is entropy conserved too? In general, no. (again system↔information state↔entropy) However, if we fork the definition of entropy to include coarse versus fine grained entropy, that leads …
