What is Elastic vs Inelastic Collisions Explained about?
An elastic collision is one where kinetic energy is conserved before and after impact. An inelastic collision is where kinetic energy is not conserved and is transferred to internal or other forms of energy. Collisions are never perfectly elastic at the macroscale as some kinetic energy is always lost, but collisions of atoms, molecules in ideal gases, and interactions like planetary slingshot orbits can approach being perfectly elastic. Momentum is always conserved in collisions, both elastic and inelastic
