A skater is using very low-friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee to her, on the straight line along which she is coasting. Indicate for each of the following events whether it is an elastic or inelastic collision between the skater and the Frisbee. a) She catches the Frisbee and holds it. This would be an i. elastic collision ii. inelastic collision b) She tries to catch the Frisbee, but it bounces off her hands and falls to the ground in front of her. This would be an i. elastic collision ii. inelastic collision c) She catches the Frisbee and immediately throws it back with the same speed (relative to the ground) to her friend.
