Answer:An inelastic collision is one in which the internal kinetic energy changes (it is not conserved). A collision in which the objects stick together is sometimes called perfectly inelastic because it reduces internal kinetic energy more than does any other type of inelastic collision.People sometimes think that objects must stick together in an inelastic collision. However, objects only stick together during a perfectly inelastic collision. Objects may also bounce off each other or explode apart, and the collision is still considered inelastic as long as kinetic energy is not conserved.

hope this helps have a nice day❤️

<span>As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is kinetic friction.

We exert force to move the object from rest and in this case, static friction works. But, when the object comes in motion, then kinetic friction works. Here, since the car is driving without slipping means, kinetic friction acts on it. Its also called sliding or dynamic friction.</span>
