  1. Elastic and Inelastic collisions The truth about …

  2. The only way to tell … … whether a collision is elastic or inelastic is to find out whether kinetic energy is conserved or not. You have to calculate the kinetic energy before and after the collision. Note that energy is always conserved but kinetic energy is turned into heat and/or sound in an inelastic collision.
