Question

What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic?


If there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision, it is elastic.


If the collision involves bouncing, it is elastic.


If there is energy lost in the collision to sound, heat, etc., the collision is elastic.


If the collision involves sticking together, it is elastic.

Answer 1

i think its the first one but i may be wrong

Answer 2

That's correct. An elastic collision has no loss of kinetic energy

Answer 3

If energy was lost, then the collision would have been inelastic

Answer 4

ok:) thank you so much for everything:) you've been a really big help:)

Answer 5

It's been my pleasure :D

Answer 6
