In this situation, conservation of velocity would mean that the total velocity for both carts is the same after the collision as it was before the collision. Is velocity conserved in elastic conditions? Is it conserved in inelastic conditions?

Question

dude · Answer

Elastic, the velocity is conserved as they both maintain their speed after collision, if they were to stop, the it would be inelastic
