what is inelastic collision?

  • In this collision (K.E)_{initial} \neq (K.E.)_{final}

  • Coefficient of restitution 0 < e < 1 

  • As (K.E)_{initial} > (K.E.)_{final}

The loss in kinetic energy appears in other forms, such as heat, sound etc. 

Ex- Collision between two billiard balls. All majority of collision belong to this category.
