In an elastic collision: - Vidyadip

MCQ

In an elastic collision:

✓
The initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy.
B
The final kinetic energy is less than the initial kinetic energy.
C
The kinetic energy remains constant.
D
The kinetic energy first increases then decreases.

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

The initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy.

As no energy is lost into heat in an elastic collision,
the initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy.
