just a quick question: i know they occur when two objects "stick together" but is the "official" physics def of a perfectly inelastic collision one with the greatest loss of kinetic energy of the system? another phrasing of the ? would be: can you have an KE loss in a partially elastic collision that is GREATER than a perfectly inelastic collision of the same system?
