This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Bouncing ball strobe edit.jpg|thumb|right|350px|A [[bouncing ball]] captured with a stroboscopic flash at 25 images per second. Each impact of the ball is inelastic, meaning that energy dissipates at each bounce. Ignoring [[air resistance]], the square root of the ratio of the height of one bounce to that of the preceding bounce gives the [[coefficient of restitution]] for the ball/surface impact.]]
An '''inelastic collision''', in contrast to an [[elastic collision]], is a [[collision]] in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of [[Friction#Internal friction|internal friction]].

In collisions of macroscopic bodies, some [[kinetic energy]] is turned into vibrational energy of the [[atom]]s, causing a [[heat]]ing effect, and the bodies are deformed.

The [[molecule]]s of a [[gas]] or [[liquid]] rarely experience perfectly [[elastic collision]]s because kinetic energy is exchanged between the molecules' translational motion and their internal [[Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)|degrees of freedom]] with each collision. At any one instant, half the collisions are &ndash; to a varying extent &ndash; inelastic (the pair possesses less kinetic energy after the collision than before), and half could be described as “super-elastic” (possessing ''more'' kinetic energy after the collision than before). Averaged across an entire sample, molecular collisions are elastic. ((Citation needed|date=February 2016))

Although inelastic collisions do not conserve kinetic energy, they do obey [[conservation of momentum]].<ref>((cite book| title = Vector equations for engineers: Dynamics | author = Ferdinand Beer Jr. and E.

''the total momentum of the particles is conserved''.

In [[nuclear physics]], an inelastic collision is one in which the incoming [[subatomic particle|particle]] causes the [[atomic nucleus|nucleus]] it strikes to become [[excited state|excited]] or to break up. [[Deep inelastic scattering]] is a method of probing the structure of subatomic particles in much the same way as Rutherford probed the inside of the atom (see [[Rutherford scattering]]). Such experiments were performed on [[proton]]s in the late 1960s using high-energy [[electron]]s at the [[Stanford Linear Accelerator]] (SLAC). As in Rutherford scattering, deep inelastic scattering of electrons by proton targets revealed that most of the incident electrons interact very little and pass straight through, with only a small number bouncing back. This indicates that the charge in the proton is concentrated in small lumps, reminiscent of Rutherford's discovery that the [[electric charge|positive charge]] in an atom is concentrated at the nucleus. However, in the case of the proton, the evidence suggested three distinct concentrations of charge ([[quark]]s) and not one.

==Formula==

The formula for the velocities after a one-dimensional collision is:
<math display=block>
\begin{align}
v_a &= \frac{C_R m_b (u_b - u_a) + m_a u_a + m_b u_b} {m_a+m_b} \\
v_b &= \frac{C_R m_a (u_a - u_b) + m_a u_a + m_b u_b} {m_a+m_b}
\end{align}
</math>

where

*''v''<sub>a</sub> is the final velocity of the first object after impact
*''v''<sub>b</sub> is the final velocity of the second object after impact
*''u''<sub>a</sub> is the initial velocity of the first object before impact
*''u''<sub>b</sub> is the initial velocity of the second object before impact
*''m''<sub>a</sub> is the mass of the first object
*''m''<sub>b</sub> is the mass of the second object
*''C''<sub>R</sub> is the [[coefficient of restitution]]; if it is 1 we have an [[elastic collision]]; if it is 0 we have a perfectly inelastic collision, see below.

In a [[center of momentum frame]] the formulas reduce to:

<math display=block>
\begin{align}
v_a &= -C_R u_a \\
v_b &= -C_R u_b
\end{align}
</math>

For two- and three-dimensional collisions the velocities in these formulas are the components perpendicular to the tangent line/plane at the point of contact.

If assuming the objects are not rotating before or after the collision, the [[Normal (geometry)|normal]] [[Impulse (physics)|impulse]] is:

<math display=block>J_{n} = \frac{m_{a} m_{b)){m_{a} + m_{b)) (1 + C_R) (\vec{u_{b)) - \vec{u_{a))) \cdot \vec{n}</math>

where <math>\vec{n}</math> is the normal vector.

Assuming no friction, this gives the velocity updates:

<math display=block>
\begin{align}
\Delta \vec{v_{a)) &= \frac{J_{n)){m_{a)) \vec{n} \\
\Delta \vec{v_{b)) &= -\frac{J_{n)){m_{b)) \vec{n}
\end{align}
</math>

==Perfectly inelastic collision==
[[Image:Inelastischer stoß.gif|A completely inelastic collision between equal masses|frame|center]]

A '''perfectly inelastic collision''' occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy
of a system is lost. In a perfectly inelastic collision, i.e., a zero [[coefficient of restitution]],  the colliding particles stick together. In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by bonding the two bodies together. This bonding energy usually results in a maximum kinetic energy loss of the system. It is necessary to consider conservation of momentum: (Note: In the sliding block example above, momentum of the two body system is only conserved if the surface has zero friction. With friction, momentum of the two bodies is transferred to the surface that the two bodies are sliding upon. Similarly, if there is air resistance, the momentum of the bodies can be transferred to the air.) The equation below holds true for the two-body (Body A, Body B) system collision in the example above. In this example, momentum of the system is conserved because there is no friction between the sliding bodies and the surface.
<math display=block>m_a u_a + m_b u_b = \left( m_a + m_b \right)  v </math>
where ''v'' is the final velocity, which is hence given by
<math display=block> v=\frac{m_a u_a + m_b  u_b}{m_a + m_b}</math>The reduction of total kinetic energy is equal to the total kinetic energy before the collision in a [[center of momentum frame]] with respect to the system of two particles, because in such a frame the kinetic energy after the collision is zero. In this frame most of the kinetic energy before the collision is that of the particle with the smaller mass. In another frame, in addition to the reduction of kinetic energy there may be a transfer of kinetic energy from one particle to the other; the fact that this depends on the frame shows how relative this is. The change in kinetic energy is hence:
<math display="block"> \Delta KE = {1\over 2}\mu u^2_{\rm rel} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{m_a m_b}{m_a + m_b}|u_a - u_b|^2 </math>

where μ is the [[reduced mass]] and u<sub>rel</sub> is the [[relative velocity]] of the bodies before collision. With time reversed we have the situation of two objects pushed away from each other, e.g. shooting a [[projectile]], or a [[rocket]] applying [[thrust]] (compare the [[Tsiolkovsky rocket equation#Derivation|derivation of the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation]]).

==Partially inelastic collisions==
Partially inelastic collisions are the most common form of collisions in the real world. In this type of collision, the objects involved in the collisions do not stick, but some kinetic energy is still lost. Friction, sound and heat are some ways the kinetic energy can be lost through partial inelastic collisions.
