He concluded that only in the instance of perfectly inelastic collisions (zero reflection) would Newton's law stand up, thus reinforcing the thermodynamic problem of Le Sage's theory.

As can be seen in the graph, NCO serves as the perfectly inelastic supply curve for this market.

In a perfectly inelastic collision, i.e., a zero coefficient of restitution, the colliding particles stick together.

On the other hand supply of land for an economy is fixed that is it is perfectly inelastic.

As the two accompanying diagrams show, perfectly elastic demand is represented graphically as a horizontal line, and perfectly inelastic demand as a vertical line.

"A payment to any factor in perfectly inelastic supply"

A monopoly has a negatively sloped demand curve, not a perfectly inelastic curve.

C is the coefficient of restitution; if it is 1 we have an elastic collision; if it is 0 we have a perfectly inelastic collision, see below.

A perfectly inelastic collision occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost.

In a perfectly inelastic collision (such as a bug hitting a windshield), both bodies have the same motion afterwards.
