Question

explain elastic 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.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.

Answer 2

Hey!! This is your answer
◆Elastic collision is definedas one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. Aninelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in thecollision.
◆Inelastic collision occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. In a perfectly inelastic collision, i.e., a zero coefficient of restitution, the colliding particles stick together. In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by bonding the two bodies together.
