Question

two cars collide in an intersection. the hoods of both cars collapse and the two cars rebound off each other. what type of collision was this

Answer 1

The answer is Inelastic because some energy went into the hoods being collapsed

Answer 2

Inelastic collision

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two cars collide in an intersection. the hoods of both cars collapse and the two cars rebound off each other. It is an example of inelastic collision.

In this type of collision, two bodies collides with each other and after collision they combines and move with a common velocity. The momentum remains constant while some of the kinetic enetgy lost in the form of heat, sound etc.
