Question

19. Which type of collision is hitting a baseball with a bat? *

2 points
Elastic Collision
Inelastic Collision
Neither
Both

Answer 1

Easy. The answer to your question is Inelastic Collision.

Why? elastic collision, is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of internal friction.

Where as, elastic collision is conserved were it maintains (a quantity such as energy or mass) at a constant overall total.

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, Inelastic Collision

Explanation :

There are two type of collision.

(1) Elastic collision

(2) Inelastic collision

Elastic collision : In this collision, there is no loss of kinetic energy in the system. In this, both kinetic energy and the momentum remains conserved.

Inelastic collision : In this collision, there is a loss of kinetic energy in the system. In this, the momentum remains conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved. The kinetic energy transformed into another type of energy.

Hitting a baseball with a bat is a type of an inelastic collision due to the loss of the friction, sound and heat energy.

Hence, the correct option is, Inelastic Collision
