Packet D: Bonus 16
In collisions with the “perfect” form of this property, two objects stick together and the coefficient of restitution is zero. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this property of all real-world collisions. In collisions with this property, energy is lost to the environment.
ANSWER: inelasticity [accept inelastic collisions; accept partial inelasticity or perfect inelasticity]
[10m] Perfectly elastic conditions maximize this quantity, denoted J, which equals the time integral of force.
ANSWER: impulse
[10h] This function is sometimes called the unit impulse since if force equals this function of time, impulse equals the Heaviside step function. The position of a point mass is represented by this function.
ANSWER: Dirac delta function [prompt on Dirac function]
