if momentum of a system is conserved does it neccessirily mean kinetic energy is conserved? oviously in inellastic collision it doent happen but both momentu and ke are related to velocity so why this violation?

momentum depends on both magnitude and direction of velocity, but kinetic energy depends only on magnitude of velocity
