Inelastic collision happens when two objects joined and move together after the collision
Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second. If you were to travel around the earth it would be 7.5 times in a second
(a) The work done by the bird to raise the snake on the branch is equal to the product between the weight of the snake and the height of the branch above the ground:

where
is the mass of the snake and
is the height of the branch with respect to the ground. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

(b) The work the bird did to raise its own centre of mass from the ground to the branch is equal to the product between the bird's weight and the height of the branch:

where
is the mass of the bird. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find
