State whether the collision is elastic or inelastic

Reference no: EM13667613

For each situation, state whether the collision is elastic or inelastic. If it is inelastic, state whether it is totally inelastic or not?

a) You drop a ball from your hand. It collides with the floor and bounces back up so that it now reaches your hand.

b) You drop a dissimilar ball from your hand and let it collide with the ground. This ball bounces back up to half the height from which it was dropped.

c) You drop a ball of clay from your hand. When it collides with the ground, it stops.
