New cards

An elastic collision between objects is when

The initial kinetic energy of the system is equal to the final kinetic energy

2
New cards

An elastic collision is usually identified as

A collision where two objects bounce of each other

3
New cards

The final kinetic energies of each object in a elastic collision

May be different from the initial kinetic energies in the system

4
New cards

In a elastic collision

The objects retain their shape

kinetic energy is conserved
