objects go through deformation an example would be a car crash
its a collision
as quantity is totally unresponsive of price, consumer has no alternative in perfectly inelastic demand, he will pay any price for it. examples are air, water, electricity etc.
Inelastic
Inelastic goods are those that we have to buy no matter what the price goes up to. For example gasoline, we can cut back but we have to have the gasoline at some point for our cars. Heating oil for our homes is another example. When there is no substitute for a product and it is necessary for everyday life it is inelastic. How about health care? Can we survive without a heart transplant, or a life saving operation?
no cereal companies are not inelastic because there is not a crucial demand for cereal if cereal companies were too raise the price of cereal to an ridiculously price there is a good chance that consumers will stop buying so that makes cereal elastic.........examples of inelastic companies are industries like pharmacuticals,oil , higene etc. things that we need.
its a collision
what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision
In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.
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.
In an inelastic collision, part of the kinetic energy is absorbed by the colliding objects, and converted into heat. For an inelastic collision to occur between molecules, the energy would need to be absorbed at some lower level.
I don't think there is a "best example"; what is best may depend on the point you want to convey. However, in practice, both elastic and inelastic collisions are often used as examples.
Momentum is conserved in a collision. If two cars have the same mass and are traveling at the same speed and collide headfirst, the momentum of both cars cancel each other out and they will be motionless. If one has greater speed or mass than the other, it will still have the difference in momentum after the collision.

Hi, in line with Newton's laws of motion the momentum before and after a collision is always conserved (when no external force is applied to change the systems momentum). In elastic collisions we can apply the conservation of momentum and conservation of energy principles. In inelastic collisions we can only apply the conservation of momentum principle. Energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions because energy is lost through small deformations, noise, friction, etc. We can compute the coefficient of restitution that helps determine this degree of energy loss from impulse-momentum equations.
Continental- continental collisions, Continental-oceanic collisions,and Oceanic-oceanic collisions
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.
