Answer

The answer is given below.

Work Step by Step

Collision is a brief intense interaction between objects. Collisions are brief, lasting but a short time in the overall context of the colliding objects' motion & collision is intense, forces among the interacting objects are far larger than any external forces that may be acting on the system, $Elastic\space Vs\space Inelastic\space collisions$ Momentum is conserved in both elastic or inelastic collisions while kinetic energy is conserved only in an elastic collision.
