A 57-gram tennis ball moving at 70 miles per hour is hit with a 110-gram tennis racquet moving at 60 miles per hour.  Which statement best

A 57-gram tennis ball moving at 70 miles per hour is hit with a 110-gram tennis racquet moving at 60 miles per hour. 


Which statement best compares the total amounts of mass and energy before and after impact?

A. Because the velocities of the ball and racquet are unequal, there is more mass and energy after impact than there is before impact.

B. Because the velocities of the ball and racquet are unequal, there is less mass and energy after impact than there is before impact.

C. Because neither mass nor energy are conserved, the total amounts of mass and energy are different before and after impact.

D. Because mass and energy are both conserved, the total amounts of mass and energy are the same before and after impact.


I think the Answer is D. because all energy is conserved?
