How do you determine if a collision was elastic inelastic or perfectly inelastic?

just check momentum before and after and if they're the same then elastic if not then inelastic.

Elastic and inelastic collisions?
its a collision
If the elasticity equals 0 is demand perfectly elastic or perfectly inelastic?
it is perfectly inelastic
Demand and its types?
Perfectly inelastic demand, perfectly elastic demand, elastic demand, inelastic demand etc.
Different degrees of elasticity of demand?
Perfectly elastic demand. Relative elastic demand. Unit elasticity of demand. Relative inelastic demand. Perfectly inelastic demand.
Distinguish between elastic and inelastic demand?
An example of perfectly inelastic demand would be a life-saving drug that people will pay any price to obtain. Elastic demand is the opposite of this.
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
Elastic and inelastic collisions?
its a collision
If the elasticity equals 0 is demand perfectly elastic or perfectly inelastic?
it is perfectly inelastic
Demand and its types?
Perfectly inelastic demand, perfectly elastic demand, elastic demand, inelastic demand etc.
What happens to the vehicles in a collision and the principles of elastic and inelastic collisions?
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.
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.
Different degrees of elasticity of demand?
Perfectly elastic demand. Relative elastic demand. Unit elasticity of demand. Relative inelastic demand. Perfectly inelastic demand.
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.
Distinguish beween and elastic and inelastic collision for wich type of collision is momentum conserved?
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.
Velcro cart to magnestic bumper cart collision is this an inelastic or elastic collision?
elastoc collision because they can stick together
Why the value of coefficient of restitution of a perfectly plastic impact is 0?
Physicists distinguish between elastic and inelastic (and partially elastic) collisions. If you mean "elastic", the coefficient of restitution is 1. If you mean "inelastic", the coefficient of restitution is 0.Why? Because that's how "elastic" and "inelastic" collisions are DEFINED. If all the kinetic energy is maintained, the coefficient (relative speed after collision, divided by relative speed before the collision) is 1 - i.e., no movement is lost. If it is zero, all the movement energy (relative speed) is lost.
