Question

a car drives under a bridge. as it passes underneath a man jumps down onto the top of the car. the man and the car continue moving together. what type of collision is this?

Answer 1

perfectly inelastic

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Inelastic collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because both the momentum of the man and that of the car, is conserved because they are both moving with the same velocity.

Also kinetic energy is not conserved because the car moved with different kinetic energy, as well as the man.

When they came into contact, the final kinetic energy is different from the initial kinetic energy.
