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.
The three stages of collision are: 1st stage - vehicle crash, 2nd stage - human crash, and 3rd stage - internal crash.
Tendons need to be inelastic in order to efficiently transmit the force generated by muscles to move and stabilize joints. If tendons were too elastic, they would stretch too much under load, leading to inefficient energy transfer and reduced movement efficiency. Inelastic tendons provide stability and support to the joints during physical activities.
The fibers found in the dermis are elastic fibers and collagen type I.
The outer ear is primarily composed of elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage. Elastic cartilage forms the pinna of the ear, while fibrocartilage is found in the external auditory canal. These connective tissues provide structural support and flexibility to the outer ear.
The external ear is supported by elastic cartilage, particularly the auricle (pinna) which is the visible part of the external ear. This cartilage provides structure and shape to the ear while allowing for flexibility and movement.
its a collision
just check momentum before and after and if they're the same then elastic if not then inelastic.
Elastic collision transfers more energy into motion while inelastic transfers energy into deformation of the objects. Elastic could be called more efficient transfer.
In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that momentum before and after the collision is the same, and the objects bounce off each other without any loss of kinetic energy. In inelastic collisions, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not. Some kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision.
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved, meaning the total energy before and after the collision remains the same. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, and some of the energy is transformed into other forms, such as heat or sound. To determine whether a collision is elastic or inelastic, you can calculate the total kinetic energy before and after the collision. If the total kinetic energy remains the same, it is an elastic collision. If the total kinetic energy decreases, it is an inelastic collision.
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and no energy is lost.
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.
Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions. Mechanical energy is conserved only in elastic collisions. In inelastic collisions, part of the energy is "lost" - usually most of it would be converted to heat, eventually.
elastoc collision because they can stick together
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and the objects bounce off each other without losing energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as the objects stick together or deform.
When the collision is perfectly elastic then energy is not lost but exchanged between the bodies collided. So total KE would remain the same before and after collision. But in case of inelastic collision, there would be loss of energy in the form of heat or sound or vibration etc etc. But whether collision is elastic or inelastic the momentum is conserved. That is, the total momentum in a given direction would be the same before and after collision.
Hopfully elastic because otherwise the ball would be stuck to the hand.
