the fact that the recoil must be slightly less does not imply that the collision is inelastic
b) The wall (earth) does recoil with a non-zero momentum...the velocity being ridiculously
small...the bigger the mass ratio of wall to ball, the smaller the velocity ratio of wall to
ball...but implying that there really is an associated nonzero K for the wall (earth)
