CBSE Class 11: Work, Energy & Power - Perfectly Inelastic Collision

Jun 8, 2015 14:52 IST

In this video we will learn about the perfectly Inelastic collision.

Coefficient of restitution is equal to zero, which means that after the collision both the bodies stick together and move forward with a single velocity.
There is a loss of kinetic energy, as a result, there is a loss in total energy also.
The difference of kinetic energy is negative, which means the initial kinetic energy is more than the final kinetic energy. This is the reason for the loss in kinetic energy.
