nieelastycznemu

Nieelastycznemu is a Polish term that translates to "inelastic" in English, often used in economics and physics. In economics, it describes a situation where the quantity demanded or supplied of a good or service changes very little in response to a change in its price. This indicates a low price elasticity of demand or supply. For example, essential goods like medicine or basic utilities tend to be inelastic, as people will continue to buy them even if prices rise significantly. Conversely, luxury items or goods with many substitutes are often elastic, meaning demand will drop sharply with price increases.

In physics, the term "nieelastycznemu" refers to inelastic collisions. This is a type of collision where kinetic energy is not conserved, meaning some of it is lost, typically as heat, sound, or deformation of the colliding objects. In a perfectly inelastic collision, the objects stick together after the collision, and the maximum amount of kinetic energy is lost. This contrasts with elastic collisions, where kinetic energy is conserved. An example of an inelastic collision in everyday life is when a car crashes into a wall and crumples. The deformation of the car absorbs a significant amount of energy.
