Feedback from quiz 12

Top concerns/issues:
Elastic vs. inelastic collisions (recognizing them) (from last time) Center of mass Momentum vs. energy conservation. Collisions in 2- and 3-dimensions.

And:
I trust the book, but the rules dont really make any sense Momentum Moproblems Physicists can be an impulsive bunch.

E/p flowchart
Can use conservation of E but not p

Identify system yes yes

External forces? no Can use conservation of p

Only conservative forces? no May use energy, but must account for work by non-cons. forces

Collision/interaction: objects stick together? no

yes

Cannot use conservation of E

Cannot use conservation of E unless told its elastic
