The collision of a billiard ball against a wall is considered elastic. Intuitively i can accept it. But analytically i don't understand it.
Why does the wall not take any relevant amount of energy from the ball? Is it connected to the change in temperature of the wall ?
What scenarios can we aproximate as elastic ? Under what characteristics ?
