[QUOTE="nasu, post: 5460639, member: 147320"] No, you cannot tell from the information you present. If you know both velocities before and after collision, of course you can check if the KE is conserved. If not, you need to know something about the materials. The quantity that tells "how ellastic" is the collision is called restitution coefficient. You can gind it for various pairs of materials. [/QUOTE]
