Interpretation:
The meaning of elastic collision needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Perfectly elastic collision is basic assumption of kinetic molecular theory.
Answer to Problem 34A
In Collision, no conversion of kinetic energy into other form of energy like heat, noise takes place.
Explanation of Solution
In elastic collision, momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantity. During the collision of small objects, firstly kinetic energy converted into potential energy which is associated with a force between the particles and then, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Ball bounce on the floor is an example of elastic collision.
