Given information
An inelastic collision occurs when the internal kinetic energy of the impact varies.
is the Speed of car A before the collision.
is the Speed of car B before the collision.
is the Speed of car B after the collision.
is the Speed of car A after the collision.
The mass of Both cars is equal.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
In the case of violation of conservation, the forces between colliding objects can either remove or add internal kinetic energy. Internal factors can alter the types of energy inside a system.
Fraction of initial kinetic energy lost is given by
