Question

If two things collide, where does the lost energy go? Is it transferred into other forms?

Answer 1

Answer:

A perfectly inelastic collision is one in which two objects colliding stick together, becoming a single object. In an inelastic collision, energy is lost to the environment, transferred into other forms such as heat. In the above figure, two objects A and B with the same mass m are 15 m away from each other.
