Question
In an inelastic collision,
Options
A.the velocity of both the particles may be same after the collision
B.kinetic energy is not conserved
C.linear momentum of the system is conserved.
D.velocity of separation will be less than velocity of approach.
Solution
Sol. If e = 0 ⇒ velocity of both object will be same.
In inelastic collision, KE is lost.
$e = \frac{v_{sep}}{v_{app}} < 1$ (for inelastic)
vsep < vapp
