In physics, an elastic collision is an encounter (collision) between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same. In...

If it is conserved, the collision is called an elastic collision; if not, it is an inelastic collision. An elastic collision is one in which no kinetic...

An inelastic collision, in contrast to an elastic collision, is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of internal friction...
