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

Explanation:1

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! :)

the old price per ounce is c/4.

the new price per ounce is c/3.6.

the ratio of the old price to the new one is

(c/4)/(c/3.6) = (c/c)×(3.6/4) = 0.9 . . = 9/10 . . "nine tenths" in either form
