... Bouncing Collisions • If objects bounce off one another rather than sticking together, less energy is lost in the collision. • Bouncing objects are called either “elastic” or “partially inelastic”. The distinction is based on energy. Elastic Collisions: • No energy is lost in an elastic collision ...
