What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic? (A) If the collision involves bouncing, it is elastic. (B) If there is energy lost in the collision to sound, heat, etc., the collision is elastic. (C) If there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision, it is elastic. (D) If the collision involves sticking together, it is elastic.
the reason is b is almost correct but its basically a trick question becasue B says it would be inelastic b and c are both the answer but b says it is elastic
