Question

Inelastic collisions occur in :
I. Real gases
II. Ideal gases
III. Fusion reactions
Which of the following is correct option about the above problem?

• A. I and II
• B. II and III
• C. I and III
• D. I only
• E. II only

Answer 1

The correct option is C I and III

An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision. Any macroscopic collision between objects will convert some of the kinetic energy into internal energy and other forms of energy,
Such collisions occur in real gases and fusion reaction.
