It was most decidedly an inelastic impact. It is not a useful way to validate newton's laws giving the overwhelming complexity of the event.

- sbaiddn 4y agoThere are centuries of research into inelastic collisions, starting with Newton himself who, instead of resting on the laurels of his three laws, modeled the limiting case for high velocity collisions. Very cute model, btw. Aside from the material properties of this particular asteroid what did they find?
