Final answer:

In an inelastic collision, the objects stick together and move as one entity, while mechanical energy is not conserved during such collisions.


Explanation:

In an inelastic collision, the two objects will stick together and move as one entity after the collision. This means the bodies will not separate.

For example, in a scenario where a large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear in an inelastic collision, the bodies will stick together and move with a common velocity.

Mechanical energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions, as some of the energy is converted into other forms during the collision.
