Elastic Collision
A collision where kinetic energy is transferred between particles but their total kinetic energy remains the same.
Imagine you and a friend are playing with a set of billiard balls on a pool table, trying to ensure none fall off. This situation is like an elastic collision where, just like the balls transferring motion to one another without losing energy, you and your friend manage to keep all the balls on the table by passing them around without letting any drop off the edge. In both scenarios, the "energy" or effort is redistributed among the billiard balls (or tasks) without any being lost—just as in an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy remains constant even though it shifts between objects.
