Which of the following is/are the best example(s) of elastic collision(s)? explain why you chose your answer(s).

(a) a collision between two billiard balls.
(b) a collision between two automobiles.
(c) a basketball bouncing off the floor.
(d) an egg colliding with a brick wall.

option A

Explanation:

In a completely elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is maintained and doesn't change.

Although in a very short time the kinetic energy transforms into potential energy and then again it changes to kinetic energy.  

On the other hand, in any collision(elastic or inelastic) the total momentum remains fixed.

The elastic collision from the given option is collision between two billiard balls.

hence, the correct answer is option A

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
