Answer:
his type of shock is called inelastic
Explanation:
This exercise is for vehicle crashes, which corresponds to exercise is momentum conservation.
We must begin by defining a system formed by the two cars so that the forces during the crash have been intense and the moment is preserved.
Looking for the moments
initial. Before the crash
p₀ = m₁ v₁₀
final. After the crash
p_f = (m₁ + m₂) v
the conservation of the moment is written
p₀ = p_f
m₁ v₁₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v
This type of shock is called inelastic and has the characteristics that the kinetic energy is not conserved.
