Elastic collision


... in German => elastischer Stoß => lex


Elastic Collsion here means that two object collide and then separate again. Both momentum and all kinetic energy are preserverd. This is caused by the bodies being deformed immediately after the collision and then, due to elastic forces, resuming their initial shapes again, and thereby repelling each other.
