Kinetic energy is conserved in an elastic collision.
Two objects of different masses but moving at the same velocity have different momentum.
In an elastic collision the momentum is not conserved.

no - in an ELASTIC collision KE is conserved
Yes as I just said
Yes m V1 is not m V2
NO -in ANY old collision momentum is conserved
Yes, in in inelastic collision momentum is conserved and energy is not (escapes as heat)
