What is Elastic vs Inelastic Collisions Explained about?

1) There are two types of collisions - elastic and inelastic. In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved, while in inelastic collisions only momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is lost. 2) Expressions are derived for the final velocities of two objects undergoing an elastic one-dimensional collision. The expressions make use of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. 3) For objects with masses m1 and m2 and initial velocities U1 and U2, the final velocity of m2 is give
