Energy is lost during this type of collision
|
|
elastic
|
|
|
inelastic
|
|
|
energy is lost in both types of collisions
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An inelastic collision is a collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy. While momentum of the system is conserved in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not. This is because some kinetic energy had been transferred to something else.
Detailed explanation-2: -Everyday observable examples of perfectly elastic collisions don’t exist-some kinetic energy is always lost, as it is converted into heat transfer due to friction.
