COLLISION:-
A collision is an isolated event in which two or more colliding bodies exert relatively strong forces on each other for a relatively short time.
Types of Collision:-
1. Elastic collisions
2. Inelastic collisions
Elastic Collision:-
A collision in which linear momentum and kinetic energy, both are conserved is called elastic collision.
For example, collision between two ivory balls.
Inelastic collision:-
A collision in which only linear momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved is called an inelastic collision.
For example, Mud ball thrown on the wall sticks to the wall.

Definition
A collision is an isolated event in which two or more colliding bodies exert relatively strong forces on each other for a relatively short time.
Introduction
Generally, we say that collision occurs when two cars moving on road may strike each other accidently. Collision occurs between billiard balls in the game of billiards strike and collision occurs between gas atoms and molecules at room temperature. For the collision to take place, physical contact of bodies is not always necessary.
In case of Rutherford’s α-scattering experiment, the α-particles are scattered due to electrostatic interaction between the α-particles and the nucleus from a distance. There is no physical contact between the α-particle and the nucleus.
Two key rules regarding collision are
Law of conservation of linear momentumLaw of conservation of energy
Thus collision between two bodies may also be defined as natural interaction of the bodies for a short interval of time as a result of which the energy and momentum of the interacting bodies changes.
Types of collisions
Collision between bodies is broadly categorized into two types:
Elastic collisionsInelastic collisions
Elastic Collision
A collision in which linear momentum and kinetic energy, both are conserved is called elastic collision. For example, collision between two ivory balls.
Characteristic of an Elastic collision are:-
Linear momentum is conservedKinetic Energy is conserved.Total Energy is conserved.No part of mechanical energy is converted into any other form of energy like heat energy, should energy etc.Forces involved during elastic collisions are conservative.
Inelastic collision
A collision in which only linear momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved is called an inelastic collision. Most of the collisions in everyday life are inelastic in nature as there is always some definite loss of kinetic energy during collision. If two bodies stick to each other after colliding, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. For example, Mud ball thrown on the wall sticks to the wall.
