In an eslastic ,the momentum the mechanical energy is

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)

942.75J

Explanation:

Change in thermal energy is equal to the mass of the given substance times the specific heat capacity times the temperature change.

We've already been given the specific heat capacity, the mass as well as the initial and final temperatures.

So change in temperature will be 35° - 20° = 15°

Thermal energy change = 15 × 15 × 4.19

The final answer is 942.75J

Hope that helped.
