Explanation:

An inelastic collision is a collision where only the momentum of the system is conserved, while the kinetic energy is not conserved.

An example of inelastic collision is a car accident: the car crashes against another object, and lost part (or all) of its kinetic energy. However, given the law of conservation of energy:

"Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another"

the kinetic energy lost in the accident must be converted into other forms of energy.

Generally, most of the energy in an inelastic collision is converted into thermal energh (heat), due to the frictions between the molecules of the objects involved. Additionally, part of the kinetic energy can also be converted into sound (in the example of the car accident, the car crash produces a lot of sound, so some energy is converted into sound wave).
