Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can never be created or destroyed, only changed. true or faulse
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.

A 20 kilogram ball rolls down a 10 meter ramp at the rate of 15 meters per second. The kinetic energy is joules
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:2250J

Explanation:

mass(m)=20kg

velocity(v)=15m/s

Kinetic energy=(m x v^2)/2

Kinetic energy =(20 x 15^2)/2

Kinetic energy =(20x15x15)/2

Kinetic energy=4500/2

Kinetic energy=2250J
