This method isn't the most accurate, but it still gives a rough idea about the final speed before the collision. Elastic vs. Inelastic Collisions ... to the same physics that make the moon orbit ...

We also talked about the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions, and how to calculate the center of mass of a system. Crash Course Physics is produced in association with PBS Digital ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation ...
