Question

How is kinetic energy not conserved in inelastic collisions?

Answer 1

energy and Momentum are always conserved magnetic energy is not conserved in an inelastic collision but that is because it is converted to another form of energy (heat, etc)

Answer 2

$\Huge\bf\purple{\mid{\overline{\underline{Answer}}}\mid}$

Inelastic Collision

• The collisions in which the momentum of the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.

Reason

• Generally collisions in daily-life are inelastic collisions. The kinetic energy lost in an inelastic collision appears in some other form of energy such as heat, sound, etc.
