Elastic collision transfers more energy into motion while inelastic transfers energy into deformation of the objects. Elastic could be called more efficient transfer.
Examples of super elastic collisions include collisions between two superballs or collisions between an electron and a positron. In these collisions, kinetic energy is increased after the collision due to the conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy principles.
difference between elastic and inelastic demand
Elastic collisions do not lose energy.
its a collision
Elastic Collision is the collision in which colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or heat generation.Inelastic collision is a collision in which the colliding objects become distorted and generate heat during collision and possibly stick together.
IF you use d'alemberts pinciple and it is aparantly, according to physics conserved in collisions, be they either elastic or non-elastic collisions
Elastic materials bounce back, while a non-elastic material will remain deformed if you poke it.
your face for gods sake
Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions. Mechanical energy is conserved only in elastic collisions. In inelastic collisions, part of the energy is "lost" - usually most of it would be converted to heat, eventually.
Yes, momentum is conserved in elastic collisions. This means that the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.
Ideal Gas
If collisions were not elastic, gas particles would not conserve kinetic energy during collisions. This would result in a loss of energy with each collision, causing the gas to lose overall energy and therefore temperature. Eventually, the gas would slow down and condense into a liquid or solid state.
