In a collision that is not perfectly elastic, some of the mechanical energy is converted into other forms.

In a perfect elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy of the particles are conserved.

[tex]m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} m_1 u_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2 u_2 ^2= \frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2 v_2^2[/tex]

When the collision is not perfectly elastic, only momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved.

Thus, we can conclude that in a collision that is not perfectly elastic, some of the mechanical energy is converted into other forms.
