This study guide covers elastic and inelastic collisions in AP Physics C: Mechanics. It explains the differences between these collision types, focusing on kinetic energy conservation, momentum conservation, and energy transformation. It also includes perfectly inelastic collisions where objects stick together. Practice questions and exam tips are provided.
