The collision between two bodies may be elastic if the bodies are
Correct answer: D. hard and elastic
- A. solid and soft
- B. soft and elastic
- C. solid and hard
- D. hard and elastic
Explanation
For a collision between two bodies to be elastic, both bodies need to possess properties that allow them to regain their original shapes after the collision. Therefore, the correct condition for an elastic collision is when the bodies involved are both hard and elastic.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
