What else can I help you with?
How can one determine if a collision is elastic?
An elastic collision can be determined by observing if the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved before and after the collision. If the kinetic energy remains the same, the collision is elastic.
What happens during an elastic collision with a stationary object?
During an elastic collision with a stationary object, the object will bounce back with the same speed and energy as the incoming object, without any loss of kinetic energy.
What happens to the kinetic energy in a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects?
In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects, the kinetic energy is conserved. This means that the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.
Is momentum conserved during an elastic collision?
Yes, momentum is conserved during an elastic collision.
Is it true that you know that a collision must be elastic if?
Yes, it is true that a collision must be elastic if there is no loss of kinetic energy during the collision.

Is momentum conserved in an elastic collision?
Yes, momentum is conserved in an elastic collision, meaning the total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
What happens when another object collides with another object?
Newton's Third Law is closely related to Conservation of Momentum. When objects collide, whether the collision is elastic or not, momentum is conserved. (An elastic collision is one in which mechanical energy is conserved. In an elastic collision, after the collision, the objects go away at the same relative speed at which they approached before the collision.)
What is an example of a super-elastic collision?
A super-elastic collision occurs when the kinetic energy after the collision is greater than the kinetic energy before the collision. An example is two perfectly elastic balls colliding in space with no external forces acting on them.
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 A collision between ideally elastic bodies in which the final and initial kinetic energies are the same?
That's called an "elastic collision".
Is kinetic energy conserved in an elastic collision?
Yes, kinetic energy is conserved in an elastic collision, meaning the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.
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.
