Question:

(a) Write an expression for the kinetic energy of an object in terms of its momentum \(p\) and inertia \(m\).

(b) If kinetic energy can be written in terms of momentum, how can the kinetic energy of a system change in an inelastic collision even though the law of momentum conservation forces the system's momentum to remain unchanged?
