The collision when two objects collide and stick together. So they travel together after the impact. This is what happen.

It is inelastic because the two players go in the same direction and don't bounce away from eachother. There is a lot of force in a football collision. It's not always fun to get hit.

It would be an inellastic collision. It is this because thye collide and stick together. It is not elastic becuase they dont stick together.

An inelastic collision occurs when two football players hit eachother. No kinetic energy is conserved when they hit one another. They are running in the same direction and they do not switch directions.

When it is a good hit they stick together. That means that they are both going the same speed in the same direction after impact. It is inelastic.

It is an inelastic collision. That is because the player with the greater momentum changes the direction of the other player and they stick together and move in one direction. If one player bounced off the other it would be an elastic collision.

It would be an inelastic collision. Almost everytime both players go the same way whether the offence hits the defender or the defender hits the offence. unless its a 3 way hit. crazy stuff happens in a 3 way.
