A football tackle is classified as an **inelastic collision**, **because kinetic energy is not conserved**. In inelastic collisions, although momentum is conserved, some kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy (such as thermal energy and sound) during the collision. In the case of a football tackle, when players collide, they often end up in a heap, indicating that some of their kinetic energy has been lost to other forms rather than being conserved in the system.
