Answer:

1. PI

2. PI

Step-by-step explanation:

A collision is elastic when the kinetic energy is conserved, so there is no deformation in the objects. On the other hand, there is inelastic when the kinetic energy is not conserved, so there is deformation. Finally, the collision is perfectly inelastic when the objects stick together after the collision.

In both cases, the objects stick together, so for examples 1 and 2, the answer is PI (perfectly inelastic)
