In an elastic collision: - Vidyadip

MCQ

In an elastic collision:

A
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

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

Explanation:

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