The striking of one particle with other particle or an interaction between them is
called collision.
Elastic Collision:
In this type of collision both the momentum and the kinetic energy of the system
remain conserver.
Inelastic Collision:
In this type of collision both the momentum of the system remains conserver but
the kinetic energy doesn’t remain conserved.
I.e. after collision the 1st particle will come to rest and the 2nd particle starts
moving with the velocity of the 1st particle.
