Answer:
<u>Inelastic collision:</u>
A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.
<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>
- <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
- <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>
<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>
<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>
A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.
<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>
- <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
- <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>
In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:
<u>Given examples:</u>
- Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.
<u>Reason:</u>
<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>
- A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision
<u>Reason:</u>
<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>
U have to *modify it to increase its ground clearance*
Explanation:
Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg
Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s
mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg
Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :
initial momentum = final momentum
Since, initial momentum is zero. So,
So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
You have traveled 390 km. In order to find your answer all you have to do is multiply your speed which is 130 km/h by 3 hrs. That's my friend is how you get your answer! Have a great day!
Answer:
Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km
Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km
Explanation:
If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be 
(<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where 
is the speed of the automobile and 
the speed of the train.
So we have 
.
So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:
And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):
If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using 
(<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:
