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

When the moving car collides with the parked car, some of the moving car’s kinetic energy is transferred to the parked car, making it move. Energy is not simply lost or created, although some may also be transformed into sound, heat, and deformation during the collision. Therefore, the correct choice is “The moving car transfers kinetic energy to the parked car.”
