Kinetic energy is lost in an inelastic collision because some of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision. This results in a decrease in the total kinetic energy of the system after the collision.
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and no energy is lost.
In an elastic collision, no kinetic energy is lost, and the relative speed of separation of the objects after the collision is the same as the relative speed before the collision. In an inelastic collision, part of the elastic energy is lost, and the relative speed after the collision is less.
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and the objects bounce off each other without losing energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as the objects stick together or deform.
In an inelastic collision, energy is conserved through the conversion of kinetic energy into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound. This means that the total energy of the system remains the same before and after the collision, even though some of the initial kinetic energy is lost.
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In a perfectly inelastic collision, the objects stick together after colliding and move as one unit, with maximum energy loss.
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and no energy is lost.
In an inelastic collision kinetic energy is lost (generally through energy used to change an objects shape), but the two objects rebound off each other with the remaining kinetic energy. In a perfectly inelastic collision the two objects stick together after the collision.

In an elastic collision, all initial kinetic energy is fully restored as final kinetic energy. where nothing is converted into noise, heat or any other form of energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is "lost" to thermal or sound energy.
When the collision is perfectly elastic then energy is not lost but exchanged between the bodies collided. So total KE would remain the same before and after collision. But in case of inelastic collision, there would be loss of energy in the form of heat or sound or vibration etc etc. But whether collision is elastic or inelastic the momentum is conserved. That is, the total momentum in a given direction would be the same before and after collision.
Elastic Collision is the collision in which colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or heat generation.Inelastic collision is a collision in which the colliding objects become distorted and generate heat during collision and possibly stick together.
A car driving into a very large rock. A collosion where all the things colliding (in the example the car and the rock) are no longer moving after the collision is one where all the kentic energy is lost. K.E. = 1/2 * m * v2 If v=0 then there is no kinetic energy.
Example of an elastic collision: Two billiard balls collide on a frictionless surface and bounce off each other, conserving both momentum and kinetic energy. Answer: Kinetic energy and momentum are conserved in elastic collisions. Example of an inelastic collision: Two cars collide and stick together after impact, with some kinetic energy being lost to deformation and sound. Answer: In inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is not conserved as some of it is transformed into other forms such as deformation or heat.
An inelastic collision does not conserve kinetic energy, as some of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, or deformation. This results in a decrease in the total kinetic energy of the system.
