Explanation:
A collision in which some part of a kinetic energy is changed into another form of energy is known as an inelastic collision.
In an inelastic collision momentum is conserved because total momentum of both the objects before and after the collision are same.
Whereas kinetic energy during this collision is not conserved because a part of kinetic energy changes into heat, sound and deformation of objects.
Thus, we can conclude that during an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, while kinetic energy is not conserved.
