   Actually, in this context “elastic” means that the kinetic energy is conserved. “Perfectly inelastic”, on the other hand, just means that the two colliding objects end with the same velocity — often stuck together or with one embedded in the other. A Newton’s cradle works the way it does due to conservation of momentum (which is not optional) AND the fact that almost no kinetic energy is transferred into heat. (A little is carried away as sound, but not enough to ruin the effect.)

   Yeah, I would make Mitt Romney ride on the roof rack — or any other politician, for that matter. Let one of those in your car and you’ll never get rid of the smell.
