Inelastic collision
«D¼u©Ê¸I¼²

In inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the colliding objects before collision is more than that after collision. And if colliding objects stick together after collision, the collision is completely inelastic, with maximum loss in the kinetic energy.

See also elastic collision and conservation of momentum.
