Question

Define perfectly inelastic collision. Give an example of it.

✓

Answer

Collision in which the colliding bodies stick together after collision and move with a common velocity is called perfectly inelastic collision.
The loss in kinetic energy is maximum in perfectly elastic collision.
Example: Lump of mud thrown on a wall sticks to the wall due to the loss of kinetic energy.
