Complete the sentence: during an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is

, while kinetic energy is .

Explanation:

A collision in which some part of a kinetic energy is changed into another form of energy is known as an inelastic collision.

In an inelastic collision momentum is conserved because total momentum of both the objects before and after the collision are same.

Whereas kinetic energy during this collision is not conserved because a part of kinetic energy changes into heat, sound and deformation of objects.

Thus, we can conclude that during an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, while kinetic energy is not conserved.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
