Elastic collision transfers more energy into motion while inelastic transfers energy into deformation of the objects. Elastic could be called more efficient transfer.

What are some examples of super elastic collisions?

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.

What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?

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.

Distinguish beween and elastic and inelastic collision for wich type of collision is momentum conserved?

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.


Is momentum conserved in elastic collisions?

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.


What is a gas which the particles undergo elastic collisions?

Ideal Gas


If collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls were not elastic collisions what would happen to a 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.
