In inelastic collision,

Options

A. the two particles stick together
B. they thrown apart
C. e = 0
D. e = 1

Explanation

To analyze the statements regarding inelastic collisions, we can break down the problem step by step.

### Step 1: Understanding Inelastic Collisions
In an inelastic collision, two objects collide and do not bounce off each other. Instead, they stick together after the collision and move as a single object.

### Step 2: Coefficient of Restitution
The coefficient of restitution (e) is a measure of how elastic a collision is. It is defined as the ratio of the relative velocity of separation to the relative velocity of approach. For perfectly inelastic collisions, e = 0, indicating that the objects do not separate after the collision.
