Explain the characteristics of elastic and inelastic collision.

उत्तर
- In a collision, the total K.E of the bodies before the collision is equal to the total K.E. of the bodies after the collision, then it is an elastic collision.
Total K.E. before collision = Total K.E. after collision - Inelastic collision:
In a collision, the total K.E. of the bodies before the collision is not equal to the total K.E. after collision then it is called inelastic collision Even though K.E. is not conserved but total energy is conserved. After the collision of the two colliding bodies stick together such collision is called as perfectly inelastic a plastic collision.
