What happens to the shape of objects in an elastic collision?

• Objects deform permanently.

• Objects exchange their shapes.

• Objects keep their shape.

• Objects merge into one shape.

In a perfectly inelastic collision, what happens to the objects involved?

• They bounce off each other with increased velocity.

• They continue to move separately.

• They stop moving.

• They essentially become one mass and have one velocity.

Why is the total kinetic energy generally not conserved in a collision?

• It is converted entirely into potential energy.

• It is converted to sound energy and internal energy.

• It is transferred to another object as kinetic energy.

• It remains constant throughout the collision.
