An elastic collision conserves kinetic energy. In this type of collision, the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.
Side impact collision
It is impossible to determine what type of geological formation this collision would create based only on your question's information. We do not know to which collision you are referring.
Head on.
To calculate the common velocity after a collision, you can use the principle of conservation of momentum. For two objects colliding, the total momentum before the collision equals the total momentum after the collision. The formula is given by: ( m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v_f ), where ( m_1 ) and ( m_2 ) are the masses of the two objects, ( v_1 ) and ( v_2 ) are their velocities before the collision, and ( v_f ) is the common velocity after the collision. Rearranging this equation allows you to solve for ( v_f ).

A fatal one, of course.
An elastic collision is a type of collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that the total kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.
