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.
