PARAGRAPH FOR QUESTIONS NO. 15 – 17

Collision is the transfer of momentum due to only the internal forces between the particles taking
part in collision. When exchange of a momentum takes place between two physical bodies due to
their mutual interactive force, it is defined a collision between two bodies.
Two bodies move in different directions interact each other at the point of intersection of their line of
motion and the reaction due to their physical contact is the interaction force which is the cause of
transfer of momentum from one body to another. Collision may be either elastic or inelastic. In case
of elastic collision momentum and K.E. are both conserved but in case of inelastic collision only
momentum is conserved and K.E. is not conserved.
