What happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move?

When a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move, the type of collision is elastic collision. An elastic collision is when two bodies collide and separates after collision conserving the total kinetic energy before and after collision.

ANSWER:

The moving car transfers kinetic energy to the parked car.

EXPLANATION:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion and can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy.

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14

okay i have so many questions. but the big one here is: um wt..f is this mess? ?
