An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same. So you have to be prepared to handle collisions in two dimensions. Elastic collision is a collision where the both kinetic energy and linear momentum is conserved coefficient of restitution for the elastic collision is 1 elastic collision can be further divided into head on collision i. Now lets figure out what happens when objects collide elastically in higher dimension. Apart from this, the solution below is a completely general and exact description of a 3d collision event and in any case it provides exact conservation of momentum and energy.

Oblique collision elastic inelastic collision jee neet. An elastic collision is one that also conserves internal kinetic energy.
That means no energy is lost as heat or sound during the collision. In the real world, there are no perfectly elastic collisions on an everyday scale of size. An interesting fact about elastic collisions is that they are symmetric with respect to the center of mass. If you stand at the center of mass to observe an elastic collision, you see mass m 1 approach with velocity v 1 not the earthframeofreference velocity v 1 above, and mass m 2 approaching with velocity v 2.
