A solid wooden door, 90 cm wide by 2.0 m tall, has a mass of 35 kg. It is open and at rest. A small 500-g ball is thrown perpendicular to the door with a speed of 20 m/s and hits the door 60 cm from the hinged side, causing it to begin turning
The ball rebounds along the same line with a speed of 16.0 m/s relative to the ground. How much mechanical energy is converted to internal energy during this collision? A) 30 J B) 16 J C) 15 J D) 13 J E) 4.8 J
