Question

define elastic and inelastic collision write one example of each

Answer 1

Answer:

perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision.

Explanation:

An example of an elastic collision is the movement of the swinging balls. In an inelastic collision, the energy changes into other energies such as sound energy or thermal energy. In an inelastic collision, the energy is not conserved. An example of an inelastic collision is an automobile collision.
