Well technically you can use the same equation for elastic collisons to find the velocity.
(first mass*its velocity)+(secind mass*its velocity)=(first mass*new Velocity)+(second mass*new velocity)
OR... if its inelastic the seccond half of the equation can look like:
(first mass+second mass)*Final Velocity
and the formula for kinetic energy is: .5mv^2

∙ 13y agoIt depends if it is an elastic collision or not. Elastic colisions have conservation of energy and momentum. If one of the object deforms in the collision, it is not elastic and energy is not conserved. .5m1v1i2+.5m2v2i2=.5m1v1f2+.5m2v2f2

What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?
what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision what is elastic and inelastic collision
What is the difference between an elastic collision and an inelastic collision?
No loss in energy due to collision is for elastic collision. But there will be a loss during collision in case of in-elastic collision. So KE will remain constant before and after collision in case of elastic collision.
What is elastic and inelastic collision?
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.
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.

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.

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.
What is the formula for elastic coiiision?
In the case of an elastic collision, you can write two equations, which can help you solve certain practical problems. 1) Conservation of momentum. The total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. 2) Conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy before and after the collision are the same. Note: The first equation is also valid for inelastic collisions; the second one is not.
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".
Elastic and inelastic collisions?
its a collision

Is an example of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision.

Why can't the second bounce be as tall as the first bounce?
The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.
