Why do completely inelastic collision have MAXIMUM energy loss?

jeudi 31 octobre 2013

When following solutions like this link: http://physics.about.com/od/physicsm...cCollision.htm

I understand that energy is lost, but it doesn't necessarily show that this is MAXIMUM energy loss, just that there is energy lost. How would you go about proving that more energy cannot be lost, as long as momentum is conserved (no net external force)?

I honestly feel like I'm just missing something here, so any clarification on the matter would be much appreciated!
