The difference is that one bounces off and one doesn't.

The difference between elastic and inelastic collisions is that one bounces and the other doesn't. An example of elastic is a soccer ball. An example of inelastic is a bowling ball.

One bounces and the other just smashes into the other object AKA not bouncing

One of then bounces and the other sticks. For example, a bouncy ball would be an elastic collision, and a bowling ball would be an inelastic collision.

elastic collision bounces, inelastic doesn't

An elastic collision bounces back up once its dropped, and when Inelastic collision happens it doesn't bounce.

An elastic collision is where an object bounces back and an inelastic collision things don't. Like a pool ball colliding is an example of elastic collision collision.

elastic is bouncing and inelastic collisions is not bouncing

An elastic collision is when something bounces off something else, like a tennis ball and a rock.

An inelastic collision is when something collides with something else and doesn't bounce. Like a rock on the floor.

an elastic seat is a soft seat and if something thats fragile can break when it smashes off a hard surface and a inelastic seat is a hard seat like hard plastic and if something hits that thats fragile then it will break

With an elastic collision, the object falling would bounce off, and with inelastic collision it would stay.
for instance: if you drop a jar onto a trampoline it will bounce, but if you drop the jar on the floor it will stay. And smash.

In an elastic response, the tennis ball would bounce. In a non-elastic response, the ball would not bounce.

Elastic Collision: The object that is coliding bounces back. Ex: dropping a bouncy ball on the ground. Inelastic Collision: The object that is coliding hits the ground and does not bounce back. Ex: dropping a book on the ground.

An example of elastic is a ball, and inelastic is a book.

A book ans a ball are and example of a elastic and inelastic.

Elastic collisions are when they object bounces, for example a basketball will bounce. Inelastic collisions are when the objects don't bounce back, like a glass jar.

One bounces and one stays still when it falls. Elastic could be a bouncy ball bouncing. Inelastic could be a rock hitting the ground.
