Three questions on the Inelastic collision card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
At any one instant, half the ______ are – to a varying extent – inelastic, and half could be described as “super-elastic”.
Answer
collisions. At any one instant, half the collisions are – to a varying extent – inelastic, and half could be described as “super-elastic”. From the Inelastic collision article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Inelastic collision. Inelastic collision 53 · Vladimir Pikalov 50 · Hyundai H350 47 · Stadion 43 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In collisions of macroscopic bodies, some kinetic energy is turned into vibrational energy of the atoms, causing a heating effect, and the bodies are deformed.
- The molecules of a gas or liquid rarely experience perfectly elastic collisions because kinetic energy is exchanged between the molecules' translational motion and their internal degrees of freedom with each collision.
- At any one instant, half the collisions are – to a varying extent – inelastic, and half could be described as “super-elastic”.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Inelastic collision article was read about 21,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 53 and blocks with 18: each hit it takes is cut by 7 %.
How to get Inelastic collision
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
