Question

Distinguish between elastuc and inelastic collision

Answer 1

☆1》ln elastic collision Momentum as well as kinetic energy of the system is conserved

which means there is no loss of kinetic energy

while in inelastic collision only Momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved means in inelastic collision there is a loss in kinetic energy of the system.

☆2》

ln elastic collision value of coefficient of restitution(e) is

e=1

And on other hand,

In inelastic collision value of coefficient of restitution(e) is

$\bold{0 \leqslant e < 1}$
