Answer carefully, with reason:
In an inelastic collision of two billiard balls, is the total kinetic energy conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e., when they are in contact)?

उत्तर
No, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is always lost, meaning the total kinetic energy of the billiard balls before the collision will always be greater than after the collision.
