Answer:
Well, each ml of water requires one calorie to go up 1 degree Celsius, so this liter of water takes 1000 calories to go up 1 degree Celsius.
Explanation:
Different elements require different levels of energy to make or break a bond
Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.
15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s
73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x
solve for x
x= 3.23
The final velocity is 3.23 m/s
