A driver is texting without seeing the traffic ahead and crashes into a stationary vehicle. Explain what happens to the kinetic energy. Answer in 4-6 sentences.

By Principle of Energy Conservation, the car in motion have an entire inelastic collision with the stationary vehicle, meaning that a part of the energy is dissipated due to inelastic deformation in both cars and resulting kinetic energy is lower, then the remaining kinetic energy is dissipated gradually due to friction between tires and ground by Work-Energy Theorem.

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.

cant without the picture! ?
