ELASTIC COLLISION
- Collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy of the system are conserved are called elastic collisions.
INELASTIC COLLISION
- Collisions in which the momentum of the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.

An inelastic collision, in contrast to an elastic collision, is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of internal friction. In collisions of macroscopic bodies, some kinetic energy is turned into vibrational energy of the atoms, causing a heating effect, and the bodies are deformed
