Elastic and Inelastic Collisions. A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. Momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions, but one cannot track the kinetic energy through the collision since some of it is converted to other forms of energy.
hp14073:
Inelastic collision: The type of collision of two bodies when their linear momentum before and after collision remains same and K.E changes. It is called inelasticcollision. Eg: the collision between gas molecules.
Elastic collision: The type if collision of two bodies in one dimension when their total momentum and total K.E before and after collision remains constant. It is called elastic collision. EG: collision between gas molecules.
Sorry eg for inelastic collision is: collision between atoms
