Would more force, less force, or the same amount of force be imparted to another object in an elastic collision compared to an inelastic one?
The set up is if I was playing pool and could have a perfectly elastic collision when I hit the cue ball into another ball and then changed the cue ball out for something with the same mass, but would only make perfectly inelastic collisions, which would I want to use to have the most force on the stationary ball?
