KnowraElastic collisionLinked fromLinked fromThe 10 pages that link to Elastic collision, each with the reason it gives.All 10Broader topic 3Related 3Compared with 4Center of massRelated: The center-of-mass frame makes the before-and-after velocities in an elastic collision especially simple.MomentumBroader topic: It is a collision case where momentum conservation accompanies energy conservation.Kinetic energyRelated: It is a case where motion energy survives the collision unchanged.Conservation of momentumBroader topic: Momentum conservation combines with kinetic-energy conservation to determine post-collision velocities.ImpulseCompared with: Impulse determines momentum changes, while elasticity constrains kinetic-energy changes.Coefficient of restitutionCompared with: An ideal one-dimensional elastic collision has a coefficient of one.Impact forceCompared with: It contrasts with impacts in which deformation, heat, or sound dissipates kinetic energy.Inelastic collisionCompared with: It provides the comparison case in which no kinetic energy is lost from translational motion.Billiard ballRelated: Billiard-ball impacts approximate elastic collisions, transferring momentum between balls.Newtonian dynamicsBroader topic: Newtonian momentum and energy laws predict the bodies’ velocities after impact.
