Question

what happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move? the moving car transfers kinetic energy to the parked car. kinetic energy in the moving car disappears. kinetic energy in the parked car is created. the parked car transfers kinetic energy to the moving car.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. A moving car has kinetic energy. When it hits a parked car and makes it move, it transfers its kinetic energy to the parked car.

Answer:

The moving car transfers kinetic energy to the parked car.
