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.


What is the definition of inelastic?

The precise meaning depends on what field you are using it in. In physics a collision is described as inelastic if kinetic energy is not conserved (in other words, like a real collision). In economics it is used of demand or supply and means insensitive to changes in price or income.


What is the definition of a superelastic collision?

A superelastic collision is when the total kinetic energy AFTER a collision is more than the total kinetic energy BEFORE the collision. It's more easily seen when examining the speeds (the masses will normally stay the same) of the two objects. When the speeds are faster AFTER the collision than BEFORE the collision, you likely have a superelastic collision. (Kinetic Energy equals 1/2xMassxSpeed^2) When the speed increases there is a larger kinetic energy. Before you implode (I almost did) from the disregard of the first law of thermodynamics (that energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred and transformed), the increase in kinetic energy is most likely a conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. An example would be two carts with springs colliding and creating a supercollision. Since the springs are triggered because of the collision, their potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy and the carts will leave the collision with a larger velocity and thus more kinetic energy.


Second collision occurs when?

After the first collision.
