newtonian mechanics - Types of Collisions and velocity


I know that there are three different collisions elastic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic. I wanted to know how the three velocities would rank respective to the type of collision. For example, if a ball were to collide with marble, which type of collision would maximize and/or minimize the velocity of the marble.


From my understanding, the velocities from greatest to least should go like- Elastic, Inelastic, Perfectly Inelastic.

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
