Completely Inelastic Collision A type of collision where two objects collide and stick together, moving with the same final velocity. Conservation of Momentum A principle stating that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant before and after a collision. Final Velocity The velocity at which two objects move together after a completely inelastic collision. Initial Velocity The velocity of an object before it undergoes a collision. Mass A measure of the amount of matter in an object, affecting its momentum in collisions. Momentum The product of an object's mass and velocity, conserved in isolated systems. System A set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole, such as colliding objects. Velocity The speed of an object in a particular direction. Kilogram The SI unit of mass, used to quantify the mass of objects in collision problems. Rest The state of an object being stationary, having zero velocity.
