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.

∙ 15y agoAn elastic collision is one in which momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
An inelastic collision is one in which momentum and total energy is conserved.
K.E is not conserved. It is loss in heating effects between the bodies.

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 momentum of marbles after collision?
Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).
What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?
Elastic Collision is the collision in which colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or heat generation.Inelastic collision is a collision in which the colliding objects become distorted and generate heat during collision and possibly stick together.

you're walking. you're running. ! of course ur alive!!

Elastic and inelastic collisions?
its a collision
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.
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.
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

Is it an elastic or inelastic collision when someone spikes a volleyball?
Hopfully elastic because otherwise the ball would be stuck to the hand.
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.
What is the momentum of marbles after collision?
Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).

What is the coefficient of restitution in elastic inelastic and plastic collision?
With a plastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0. With an elastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0<e<1. With an inelastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 1.
