Internal kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energies of the objects in the system. Truly elastic collisions can only be achieved with subatomic particles, such as electrons striking nuclei. Macroscopic collisions can be very nearly, but not quite, elastic—some kinetic energy is always converted into other forms of energy such as heat transfer due to friction and sound.

A perfectly elastic collision is one in which none of the initial kinetic energy is converted into heat or deformation. A perfectly inelastic collision is one in which all of the initial kinetic energy is converted into heat and deformation.
