I was looking up elastic and inelastic collisions and found that and elastic collision is a collision where kinetic energy isn't lost to other forms of energy or heat while an inelastic collision is just the opposite. In physics class we were taught that an elastic collision was a collision of two object without any sticking while an inelastic collision is a collision of two object where they stick together and become one mass. What is the relation between these two things?
