Answer:

false

Explanation:

Elastic collision: the collision is said to be elastic if the kinetic energy is conserved during the collision.

If the kinetic energy is not conserved, then the collision is not elastic.

So, here no information is given so we cant say about the type of collision.

So, it is False.

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

A temperature of 200 degrees F is equivalent to approximately
Ann [662]
(1) Changing Fahrenheit to Celsius:
The formula used to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius is as follows:
C = <span>(F - 32) * 5/9
</span>We are given that F=200, substitute in the above formula to get the corresponding temperature in Celsius as follows:
C = (200-32) * (5/9) = 93.333334 degrees Celsius

(2) Changing the Fahrenheit to kelvin:
The formula used to convert from Fahrenheit to kelvin is as follows:
K = <span>(F - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15
</span>We are given that F = 200. substitute in the above formula to get the corresponding temperature in kelvin as follows:
K = (200-32)*(5/9) + 273.15 = 366.483334 degrees kelvin
