Describe another real world example for each type of collision. Real World
Elastic Collision:
Real World Inelastic Collision:
Well, completely elastic is impossible of course but a Newton's cradle is very, very close.

Inelastic is easy, any two cars that meet, crash, and stick to each other as they slide away.
Thank you SO MUCH DAMON
Elastic Collision: One real-world example of an elastic collision is a game of billiards. When the cue ball strikes a target ball, the collision is elastic because both balls retain their original shapes and energy is conserved. The cue ball transfers its momentum to the target ball, causing the target ball to move while the cue ball comes to rest.
Inelastic Collision: A real-world example of an inelastic collision is when two vehicles collide. During a car crash, the impact results in deformation of the vehicles and energy loss. The kinetic energy of the vehicles is not conserved, and they may stick together or separate with reduced velocity after the collision. This type of collision often results in damage to the vehicles and occupants due to the dissipation of energy in the form of heat and sound.
