Q: What sorts of collisions do not result in an overall loss of kinetic energy?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions . An elastic collision is one in which there is no overall loss of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy may be transferred from one particle to another during an elastic collision, but there is no change in the total energy of the colliding particles.

 Choices:

- soft

- static

- powerful

- elastic


A:
elastic
