- Collision: In physics, a collision is an event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other in a relatively short time.
- There are two types of collisions namely:
- Elastic Collision
-
Inelastic Collision
Elastic Collision | Inelastic Collision |
An elastic collision is a type of collision where there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as the result of the collision. | An inelastic collision is a type of collision where this is a loss of kinetic energy. The lost kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, sound energy, and material deformation |
The total kinetic energy is conserved. | The total kinetic energy of the bodies at the beginning and the end of the collision is different. |
Momentum is conserved. | Momentum is conserved. |
No conversion of energy takes place. | Kinetic energy is changed into other energy such as sound or heat energy. |
EXPLANATION:
- From the above, it is clear that in an elastic collision both the kinetic energy and the momentum are conserved. Hence, option 1 is correct.
