Answer:

Elastic collision

Step-by-step explanation:

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities in elastic collisions. Supposed two similar trolleys are traveling toward each other with equal speed.
