Explanation:

An elastic collision can be defined as a state where there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as the result of the collision. An inelastic collision can be defined as a type of collision where this is a loss of kinetic energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

An elastic collision is one in which no energy is lost. – A partially inelastic collision is one in which some energy is lost, but the objects do not stick together.

However, in the perfectly inelastic collision, when the objects strike, the greatest portion of the energy is lost.
