QUANTUM SNARK

In elastic collisions, kinetic energy is conserved. Bouncing without losing enthusiasm.

✓ TRUE FACT
Total momentum is always conserved; kinetic energy is conserved only in perfectly elastic collisions. Many real collisions are partly inelastic, converting some kinetic energy into heat or deformation.
