Answer:

non-elastic collision

Corrected question:

3-ton Toyota land cruiser travelled at a speed of 45m/s, collides with a 2- ton comfort taxi which was parked in front of the traffic lights intersection. After the collision, both cars lock together and move off in one direction. Is this collision elastic or non-elastic?

Step-by-step explanation:

An inelastic or non-elastic collision occurs when two bodies collides and moves sticked together after collision. The collision in the case above is non-elastic because after collision they both move together in the same direction. The 3-ton Toyota land cruiser and the 2- ton comfort taxi collides together and after the collision, both cars lock together and move off in one direction, therefore this is an example of non-elastic/inelastic collision.
