The energy from one may give more energy to the other. The energy from one may damage the other, as in an automobile wreck.

∙ 13y agoIt is simply transferred. The total amount of energy never changes. Bar for some very exotic situations involving quantum mechanics. Even then the energy is merely borrowed.
The energy may be transferred into mass i.e. via photon production for example but nothing is created or destroyed in TOTAL!

What type is it when 2 objects bounce off each other when they collide and may transfer what from one to the other?
It is the second type of collision. And they may transfer momentum from one to the other.
Heat lost during the interaction of objects or molecules is due to what?
When objects interact, energy is lost to friction in the form of heat.
When 2 objects of the same mass traveling at the same speed collide is the energy canceled out?
The answer depends on the material of the objects. In physics, one useful concept is the concept of a perfect elastic collision, which is an idealization of the real world. An elastic collision is a collision where no deformation of objects is taking place, and thus the kinetic energy of the moving objects is preserved as no kinetic energy is transformed to heat or work during an elastic collision. In short, for elastic collisions, kinetic energy is preserved and not canceled out. In reality, there will always be some (or a lot) loss of kinetic energy to heat or work done in deforming objects, think of a car crash where there is a lot of kinetic energy spent in deformation of the cars (modern cars are designed to absorb a maximum amount of kinetic energy to be converted into deformation of objects in order to save lives), but in practical life there are many situations where the fraction of kinetic energy lost to heat or work during a collision may be neglected as it is very small. A good demonstration in real world is colliding billiard balls, or the stones used in the sport of curling, these kind of collisions may for practical purposes be considered elastic. The sum of kinetic energy and the sum of momentum for the moving objects are the same before and after the collision. This means, if 2 equal objects of same mass and same speed but opposite direction of movement collide head on in an elastic collision, their direction of movement will be reversed and their speed will be the same as before collision. Think of two equal billiard balls travelling at same but opposite speed colliding head on. When a moving object hits a moving object at an angle, or at rest or travelling at different speed or is of different mass, that is a different story, but the same rules of physics apply of course, the speed and directions of movement of the objects after any elastic collision may be easily calculated using Newton's laws.
Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.
How you transfer energy?
When you are dealing with this stuff yea its kinda hard but hear it is ok this is how energy transfers when a hot partical collids with the cold partical then the heat form the hot tranfers to the cold when they collide
What occurs when one object passes some or all of its energy to another object?
This is just a guess but I am pretty sure I am right. But the answer to this question might be 'energy conversion' Written by Brigitte.P age 13 Actually, no it's called kinetic energy
Where Earth's move they may slide alongside one another pull apart or?
collide
An object that has potential energy may have this energy because of its?
An objects Potential Energy is because of its position.
What type is it when 2 objects bounce off each other when they collide and may transfer what from one to the other?
It is the second type of collision. And they may transfer momentum from one to the other.
Where Earth's plates move they may slide alongside one another pull apart or?
I am going to make this easy. The answer is DIVIDE!
What would happen if two quarks collided?
when quarks will collide it just pass each other as ray light pass other light or another question may be asked what will happen when two ill collide. its real answer is that if quark will be at rest then it will release energy equal to e=mc^2 but in motion is take physics laws under question.

What if your vehicle is in a traffic emergency and may collide with another vehicle if you do not take action Which of these is a good rule to remember at such a time?
To stay calm and relax
What are the risks of fast moving objects?
Hi kinetic energy - thus may cause great damage.

How do earthquakes injure people?
When the earth quakes, it upsets the natural balance of the human legs. They may fall over and harm their bodies as is the case in a fall. If there are any objects around the person, they may collide with him be fatal. It all depends on where the earthquake happens.
