An inelastic collision is a collision in which the kinetic energy of the system\text{An inelastic collision is a collision in which the kinetic energy of the system}is not conserved after the collision.\text{is not conserved after the collision.}

ΣE0=ΣE1+Q;Q0 where\Sigma E_0=\Sigma E_1+Q; Q\not =0\text{ where}

ΣE0 pre-collision kinetic energy sum\Sigma E_0 \text{ pre-collision kinetic energy sum}

ΣE1 post-collision kinetic energy sum \Sigma E_1 \text{ post-collision kinetic energy sum }

Qtransformation of kinetic energy into other types (as an example, internal energy)Q - \text{transformation of kinetic energy into other types (as an example, internal energy)}
