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>
I think I can answer your question since I've worked on this before.
Your answer should be obtain energy.
If your answer choices were;
obtain energy
escape predators
produce offspring
excrete waste
the earth exerts a gravitational force
Yes because you would have at least 3 car spaces
Work is calculated as the product of Force, Distance, and
angular motion. In this case, the work done by gravity is perpendicular to the motion
of the cart, so θ = 90°
and W=Fdcosθ
W=35.0 N x 20.0 m x cos90
W=0 J
This means that work done perpendicular to the direction of
the motion is always zero.
