Absolutely! In elastic collisions, both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. It's like the ultimate energy recycling program!

Yep, kinetic energy is totally conserved in an elastic collision! Objects bounce off each other with the same total kinetic energy they had before colliding.

Having done some physics experiments, I can assure you that kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions. It's pretty cool to see it in action!

Nope. Just kidding, it is. Kinetic energy and momentum are both conserved in an elastic collision. Science says so!
