→About Collisions
: Two [[object]]s which are moving may [[collide]] with one another.
: When one [[object]] is stationery the [[object]] which is moving is said to [[collide]] with an [[object]] that is not moving. For example I '''collided''' with a lamppost, the lamppost did not '''collide''' with me.

==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''Collisions''' are interactions between [[particle]]s or bodies where they exert [[force]]s on each other for a short duration.
===About Collisions===
*'''Collisions''' can be elastic or inelastic.
*In [[Elastic Collision|elastic collisions]], both [[momentum]] and [[Kinetic Energy|kinetic energy]] are [[Conservation Law|conserved]].
*In [[Inelastic Collision|inelastic collisions]], [[momentum]] is [[Conservation|conserved]] but [[Kinetic Energy|kinetic energy]] is not.
*'''Collisions''' can be analyzed using the principles of [[Conservation of Momentum|conservation of momentum]] and [[Energy|energy]].
*The outcome of a '''collision''' depends on the relative [[Velocity|velocities]], [[mass]]es, and properties of the '''colliding''' bodies.
*In perfectly [[Inelastic Collision|inelastic collisions]], the '''colliding''' bodies stick together after impact.
*'''Collision''' analysis is crucial in understanding phenomena in mechanics, astrophysics, and particle physics.
===Examples===
*Billiard balls colliding is an example of nearly [[Elastic Collision|elastic collisions]].
*Car crashes typically involve [[Inelastic Collision|inelastic collisions]] where the vehicles deform and [[Kinetic Energy|kinetic energy]] is converted to other forms of [[Energy|energy]].
