Answer:
A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved
Explanation:
In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:
- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved
- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'
To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

Here,
L = Length
g = Acceleration due to gravity
We can realize that
is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.
