Elastic and inelastic collision and their characteristics
Elastic collision : A collision in which both the momentum and kinetic energy of the body remains conserved. e.g. the collision between two metal balls. The basic characteristics of an elastic collision are ♦️Momentum is conserved.♦️Total energy is conserved.♦️Kinetic energy is conserved.♦️Forces involved in the interaction are of conservative nature.♦️Mechanical energy is not transformed into…
