Two cars collide in an intersection. The hoods of both cars collapse and the two cars rebound off eachother. What type of collision are was this?

Answer :

Inelastic collision is the correct answer.

What is inelastic collision?

Inelastic collision is the collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy.

When two cars collide in an intersection,  the hoods of both cars collapse and the two car rebound off each other then there is a loss of kinetic energy.

That is why in the above situation, the type of collision is inelastic collision.

In this type of collision , when two  bodies collide with each other and when they combined together after collision , they move with the common velocity.

In this momentum remains constant and some amount of kinetic energy lost different forms.
