Collisions involve multiple bodies interacting for a short period of time. The physics of collisions cannot be overlooked. It is used from games such as billiards to probing the subatomic world in billion dollar \htmladdnormallink{particle accelerators}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/LargeHadronCollider.html}. The \htmladdnormallink{types}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Bijective.html} of collisions to be discussed here are elastic and inelastic collisions.
