In an inelastic collision, part of the kinetic energy is absorbed by the colliding objects, and converted into heat. For an inelastic collision to occur between molecules, the energy would need to be absorbed at some lower level.
In collisions, impulse is not always conserved because impulse depends on the change in momentum of the objects involved. If external forces are acting during the collision, then impulse may not be conserved. However, in ideal situations like perfectly elastic collisions where no external forces are present, the total impulse before and after the collision would be the same.
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.
The elastic band would stretch due to the weight of the heavy object pulling on it. The elastic band would continue to elongate until it reaches its maximum stretch or breaks.
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
It depends on whether the collision is elastic or inelastic. Most collisions are a combination. The ideal elastic collision would have the two objects bouncing off of each other at the same speed that they started with, but with opposite directions, depending on angle of incidence. The ideal inelastic collision would be as if the two objects stuck to each other - the resultant velocity in the case would be zero, depending on angle of incidence.
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.
If collisions were not elastic, gas particles would not conserve kinetic energy during collisions. This would result in a loss of energy with each collision, causing the gas to lose overall energy and therefore temperature. Eventually, the gas would slow down and condense into a liquid or solid state.
5.0 would be elastic. Anything above 1.0 is considered elastic.

Gas molecules are elastic because they possess kinetic energy, allowing them to move and collide with other molecules. When gas molecules collide with each other or with the walls of their container, they transfer energy back and forth, resulting in elastic collisions that maintain constant pressure and volume within the gas.
More collisions is an advantage.
I would use elastic. Works on my underwear.
Pressure is the effect of collisions with molecules. KMT -- molecules have kinetic energy due to their temperature which imparts more velocity, hence kinetic energy, to the molecules. All gases have KE due to temperature. IF absolute zero was ever achieved there would be no kinetic energy in the molecules, no molecular motion, no collisions, no pressure.
Postulate #1: The force of attraction among molecules are negligible. Postulate #2: The molecules make elastic collisions. (kinetic energy concerved) Postulate #3: Despite contineous motion of molecules, the density remains constant.

i used an elastic band for my head or someone used an elastic band for there hair
