roadjester · Answer

do you know the differences between the types of collisions?

anonymous · Answer

no...

roadjester · Answer

ok, do you know what it means when something is elastic?

roadjester · Answer

like an elastic band?

anonymous · Answer

is it movement or something

roadjester · Answer

ok an elastic collision means that both energy and momentum are coonserved and basically when two things hit, they will bounce away from each other

anonymous · Answer

alright, so inelastic collusion will be the answer?

roadjester · Answer

partially; notice that you have inelastic and "perfectly inelastic"

roadjester · Answer

the difference is, in an while the objects still bounce apart, energy is lost
in "perfectly inelastic" the objects also lose energy, but this time they stick together

roadjester · Answer

that should make the answer very obvious :)

anonymous · Answer

so perfectly ineastic will be the answer? :D

roadjester · Answer

yup

Nce, thank you again!
