In an inelastic collision: - Vidyadip

MCQ

In an inelastic 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 final kinetic energy is less than the initial kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As some energy is loss into heat in an inelastic collision, the final kinetic energy is less than the initial kinetic energy.
