4J - Conservation of energy

An elastic collision is one in which

• kinetic energy before the collision equals kinetic energy after the collision

• kinetic energy after the collision is zero

• kinetic energy before the collision is less than kinetic energy after the collision

• kinetic energy before the collision is greater than kinetic energy after the collision
