Statement I In an elastic collision between two bodies, the relative speed of the bodies after collision is equal to the relative speed before the collision.
Statement II In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

  1. A Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
  2. B Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I
  3. C Statement I is true, Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I
