Answer:
<u>Inelastic collision:</u>
A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.
<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>
- <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
- <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>
<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>
<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>
A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.
<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>
- <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
- <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>
In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:
<u>Given examples:</u>
- Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.
<u>Reason:</u>
<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>
- A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision
<u>Reason:</u>
<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>
Radio waves are the longest
What a relief ! That gives her time to step out of the way, before the ball
comes crashing down in the same place where she was standing.
