When a moving car hits a parked car, energy is transferred from the moving car to the parked car. The kinetic energy of the moving car is transferred to the parked car, causing it to move. Some energy is also converted into other forms, like sound and heat, during the collision.

What happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car caused the parked car to move?

When a moving car hits a parked car and causes it to move, the kinetic energy of the moving car is transferred to the parked car. This increase in kinetic energy causes the parked car to start moving. Some of the energy is also dissipated as sound, heat, and deformation of the cars during the collision.


In the following situations which one does not have kinetic energy?

A stationary car parked on the side of the road does not have kinetic energy, as kinetic energy is the energy of motion and the car is not moving.


Does a parked car have potential energy?

Yes, a parked car does have potential energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state, and in the case of a parked car, it has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the car starts moving.


What energy do trucks have?

I'm assuming you mean the big rigs, 18 wheelers. They usually consume diesel fuel. Also, when they are moving they possess Kinetic Energy and while parked on a hill they possess Potential Energy.


If you hit a parked car in a parking lot is that a moving violation?

Yes, you were moving. No, tickets are not generally issued for events on public property. That isn't to say that you won't be penalized by your current insurance company for causing damage to another vehicle.

A dump truck hits a parked car which vehicle experiences greater acceleration and why?

Parked car, because it goes from a stand-still to moving. Without adding more energy to the equation, the dump truck will slow down or stop after hitting the car = decelerates.
