Which of the following matches the definition of an  inelastic collision?  Note that this is NOT the same thing as a  perfectly inelastic collision .

Accepted Answer

An inelastic collision is one where the total kinetic energy is not conserved, but the final kinetic energy is above the minimum possible value.

Answer

An inelastic collision is one in where the total momentum is conserved.

Answer

An inelastic collision is one where the two objects have the same final velocity - this is the minimum kinetic energy condition.

Answer

An inelastic collision is one in where the total momentum is not conserved, but the final momentum is above the minimum possible value.
