Billiard balls colliding is an example?
Of an elastic collision
What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?
what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision
What is an example of elastic collision?
Marbles (glass bounces as long as it won't shatter)Curling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling)Basically, an elastic collision is one where neither of the objects loses momentum.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision
A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?
Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.
What is the difference between an elastic collision and an inelastic collision?
No loss in energy due to collision is for elastic collision. But there will be a loss during collision in case of in-elastic collision. So KE will remain constant before and after collision in case of elastic collision.

When a car hits another car what kind of energy is that?
There are two kinds of collision - elastic and inelastic. In an elastic collision, all the kinetic energy remains kinetic, though it might be transferred between objects in the collision. So the initially moving object could bounce back with the hit object staying in place, or the hit object might move and the initially moving object might stop. Or it might be a mix of both. Not only things that you think of as elastic have elastic collisions. Very hard things sometimes tend to have elastic collisions too. Not only rubber balls but also billiard balls and baseballs tend to have elastic collisions. The other type of collision is an inelastic collision. Some of the energy can remain in a kinetic form. The rest is converted to heat, sound, and breaking or deformation of the colliding objects.

What is the difference in elastic collision and inelastic collision?
Elastic collision transfers more energy into motion while inelastic transfers energy into deformation of the objects. Elastic could be called more efficient transfer.
What is elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, no kinetic energy is lost, and the relative speed of separation of the objects after the collision is the same as the relative speed before the collision. In an inelastic collision, part of the elastic energy is lost, and the relative speed after the collision is less.
What is A collision between ideally elastic bodies in which the final and initial kinetic energies are the same?
That's called an "elastic collision".
Elastic and inelastic collisions?
its a collision
Comparison between elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, all initial kinetic energy is fully restored as final kinetic energy. where nothing is converted into noise, heat or any other form of energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is "lost" to thermal or sound energy.
Velcro to magnetic bumpers collision is this an inelastic or elastic?
The collision is elastic because energy will be conserved. The materials don't react with each other (Velcro does not stick to magnets and magnets do not stick/repel velcro) so its no different than two balls hitting each other. If it was velcro to velcro, and the carts stuck together at the collision, this would be considered an inelastic collision because a lot of Kinetic Energy would be lost. Regardless of the collision, momentum is always conserved.
