Kinetic energy is conserved in

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an elastic collision, both the momentum and kinetic energy of the objects are conserved. In an inelastic collision, some or all of the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy such as heat, sound, or deformation of the objects. Therefore, kinetic energy is not conserved in an inelastic collision. The rebound of objects off each other does not necessarily mean that kinetic energy is conserved, as the collision could still be inelastic.
