The precise meaning depends on what field you are using it in. In physics a collision is described as inelastic if kinetic energy is not conserved (in other words, like a real collision). In economics it is used of demand or supply and means insensitive to changes in price or income.

Do objects in an inelastic collision stick together?
In an inelastic collision, objects stick together after colliding.
What is the difference between inelastic and perfectly inelastic collisions?
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In a perfectly inelastic collision, the objects stick together after colliding and move as one unit, with maximum energy loss.
Special cases of inelastic collision?
Special cases of inelastic collisions include perfectly inelastic collisions, where the two objects stick together after colliding, and partially inelastic collisions, where the objects deform and lose some kinetic energy after colliding. Additionally, explosions can be considered a special case of inelastic collisions, where objects separate and gain kinetic energy after the collision.
Do objects in an inelastic collision stick together after the impact?
In an inelastic collision, objects stick together after the impact.
What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?
In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that momentum before and after the collision is the same, and the objects bounce off each other without any loss of kinetic energy. In inelastic collisions, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not. Some kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision.
Are Dell laptops elastic or inelastic?
By it's strictest definition, laptops are not "elastic" because they cannot be stretched. In a broader sense, laptops are relatively inelastic because they lack the ability to be upgraded robustly.
Draw a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?
A perfectly inelastic demand curve will be completely horizontal and means that consumers would any price for a particular good, which is almost impossible. The closer to being horizontal a demand curve is, the more inelastic the demand.
Is salt an elastic or inelastic product?
Inelastic
What concepts best describe the supply of housing?
Inelastic brainly agrees plus me
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 inelastic?
Inelastic is something which is not flexible. You cannot stretch any inelastic product, whereas you can easily stretch the products which are flexible.There are two types of elasticities in economics.1. Elastic2. inelastic
Is bread elastic or inelastic?
Inelastic It is inelastic because it is a necessity, which is a factor that determines price elasticity, bread is a staple diet around the world which makes it a need and therefore a necessity which is inelastic.
Show a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?
See the related link. A perfectly inelastic demand would be a line straight up and down. That would show that demand is constant regardless of the price.
Is the price and demand for junk food elastic or inelastic?

Is the demand for insulin perfectly inelastic?
No, the demand for insulin is not perfectly inelastic.
