Answer:

B. Kinetic energy of the system is partially used up in the deformation of the vehicles.

Explanation:

In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is not. Kinetic energy is lost as heat or lost in the deformation of the objects.

What is the total amount of global evaporation ?
const2013 [10]

Water continually evaporates, condenses, and precipitates, and on a global basis, evaporation approximately equals precipitation. Because of this equality, the total amount of water vapor in the atmosphere remains approximately the same over time.

Why are incandescent lights fo inefficient?​
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Incandescent bulbs are extremely inefficient because 90% of the energy is wasted as heat, with only 10% being converted to visible light. This gives incandescent bulbs a luminous efficiency rating of around 2%. Ultimately, incandescent bulbs perform better as heaters than as light sources.

What are the seasonal changes in the weasel in florida and the weasel in wyoming
AlekseyPX
Winter weasels, also called ermines or short-tailed weasels, have coats that turn from light brown to white in the winter. The color change begins at their stomachs and works its way outward, occurring in both spring and fall. Other species, like the long-tailed weasel, may turn at least partially white as well.

The length of daylight, not temperature, prompts the color change. As a result, weasels in winter may be stark white against a brown landscape before snow starts to fall. During warmer winters, this makes them easy prey for larger predators such as foxes, martens, and badgers.
