WHAT ARE THE TWO TYPES OF COLLISION? EXPLAIN THEM.
Collision between two bodies is defined as the process of mutual interaction of the bodies for a very short interval of time due to which energy and momentum of the interacting bodies get changed.
Collisions are of two types :
(i) Elastic Collision : It is a type of collision in which both the momentum and kinetic energy of the system remain conserved.
(ii) Inelastic Collision: It is a type of collision in which momentum of the system remains conserved,whereas kinetic energy of the system doesn't remain conserved.
