Types of Collision

There are two types of collision namely elastic and inelastic.

Elastic Collision:

For elastic collision, the total momentum is conserved and the kinetic energyEnergy is the ability to do work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, and electrical energy. Units of Energy: The SI unit... More is also conserved.

Let us put into consideration two masses m₁ and m₂ moving with initial velocities u₁ and u₂ before collision and with final velocities v₁
