Question
14 multiple choice 1 point what type of collision would a tennis ball being hit be considered? elastic inelastic neither
Brief Explanations
An elastic collision conserves both momentum and kinetic energy. When a tennis ball is hit by a racket, the ball deforms, some kinetic energy is lost as heat, sound, or used to deform the ball, so kinetic energy is not fully conserved. This matches the definition of an inelastic collision, where momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not.
