In full sentences describe a scenario with Inelastic and elastic collisions.
Inelastic Collision : A collision between two bodies is said to be inelastic collision if loss of kinetic energy occurs in the system as a result of the collision. In this collision , the lost kinetic energy gets transferred into some other form like sound energy , deformation of the shape of the body due to the impact of collision , thermal energy. In an inelastic Collision , Momentum of the system remains conserved While Kinetic Energy of the system doesn't remain conserved (because loss of Kinetic energy occurred). In real life scenario , inelastic Collision can be described when two vehicles (say car) crash in a road accident . In this scenario , Kinetic energy of the vehicles gets transferred and there produces sound energy. Also, due to this crash, bumpers of cars too gets deformed and dent, scratches are seen on the vehicles. This scenario depicts the inelastic collision.
