1.) Tennis
The kinetic energy is supplied to the ball by hitting it with a tennis racket. The ball collides with
the net of the racket which in addition provides elastic potential energy to the ball which is
converted into kinetic energy. The opponent hits the ball maintaining the energy of the ball and
the process continues until the ball drops its momentum. This is also an example of collision as
the momentum and the kinetic energy of the ball are conserved after every collision.
2.) Boxing
Boxing is an example of an inelastic collision. The two players hit each other using their
muscular force. Each punch hitting the opponent player is an example of a collision, the energy
is not conserved here, and it turns into either the frictional energy due to rubbing of body or
potential of the muscular force.
