Question

question:
in a game of pool, when one ball hits another and sets it into motion, this is an example of a/an ____ collision.

answer input:
spelling counts but capitalization doesnt.

Explanation:

In pool, when one ball hits another and transfers momentum (setting the other in motion), it's an elastic collision (or sometimes considered nearly elastic, though in physics, elastic collision is where kinetic energy is conserved to a large extent, and in pool, the collision of balls is a classic example of elastic collision as the balls bounce off with minimal loss of kinetic energy for the purpose of the game's mechanics).

Answer:

elastic
