Question

define the term elastic collision and inelastic collision​

Answer 1

A 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

Answer 2

Answer:

✒️ Elastic collision :

A collision in which there is absolutely no loss Of kinetic energy is called elastic collision.

Characteristics:

• The linear momentum is conserved.

• Total energy of the system is conserved.

• Kinetic energy is conserved.

• Forces involved during elastic collisions must be conservative forces.

✒️ Inelastic collision :

A collision in which there is some loss of kinetic energy is called inelastic collision.

Characteristics :

• Linear momentum is conserved.

• Total energy is conserved.

• K E is not conserved.

• Some or all forces involved may be non-conservative.

hope this much helps uh ❣️
