In an inelastic collision, the two bodies will stick together and move as one mass after the collision. The kinetic energy is not conserved in an inelastic collision, as some of it is transformed into other forms of energy like thermal or sound energy.

Why do you say a blob of putty is inelastic?

All materials except for liquids and gases have elastic and inelastic responses when subjected to forces. An elastic response means that an object will return to its original (pre-force) shape when the force is removed, while an inelastic response means that the object will not return to its original shape. While putty can behave elastically, it can only do so under very small forces, much smaller than what it usually experiences. Since almost any "real world" force will permanently distort putty, it is usually described as inelastic.


What will happen if a unlicensed driver gets hit with another car?

As the driver is unlicensed it could be argued that they did not know how to behave on the road and therefore were the cause of the collision.


Why did OPEC fail to keep the price of oil high?

This episode shows how supply and demand can behave differently in theshort run and in the long run. In the short run, both the supply and demand for oilare relatively inelastic. Supply is inelastic because the quantity of known oil reservesand the capacity for oil extraction cannot be changed quickly. Demand is inelasticbecause buying habits do not respond immediately to changes in price.


Is steel elastic or inelastic?

Steel is generally considered to be an elastic material within certain limits. It can deform under stress but will return to its original shape once the stress is removed, as long as the deformation does not exceed its yield strength. However, if the stress surpasses this threshold, steel will behave inelastically and undergo permanent deformation. Thus, its behavior can be both elastic and inelastic, depending on the applied stress levels.


Does one individual atom stay the same speed in a Neon gas?

No. A gas atom will most likely change its speed everytime it collides with another gas atom. The AVERAGE speed of an individual atom (or molecule, depending on the gas) depends on the temperature. This is not specific to neon; all gases tend to behave similarly.
