What happens

What happens to kinetic energy and momentum in a elastic collision??

It transfers 100%. They both transfer to one another. Elastic means they transfer 100% and inelastic means they don't transfer.

It transfers from object to object. That's what it means anywasys. Inelastic means that it it doesn't transfer and stuff.

It goes from one thing to another. Becuase it is elastic it means that it transfers. If it were inelastic on the other hand it would not transfer anything.

It ges from one object to other. It transfer complety. Elastic transfer and inelastic doesn't.

The energy is transferred in an elastic collision. A perfectly elastic collision is where all of the kinetic energy and momentum is transferred between the objects. This never happens because there is always a loss in heat or friction.
