You will be faced with many questions that involve collisions and explosions. Collisions are simply an event where two or more objects come into contact. An explosion is not what you might think! An explosion is when two or more objects come apart. It does not need to be a violent or quick event.

There are two different types of collisions: elastic and inelastic. Make sure you know what the difference is. There is ALWAYS a collision or explosion question in the exam... so be ready!
