A bullet is fired from the gun. It hits the solid block resting on a frictionless surface, gets embedded into it and both move jointly. In this process,
- A Both momentum and kinetic energy are not conserved.
- B Only kinetic energy is conserved.
- C Bot the momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
- D Only momentum is conserved.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Only momentum is conserved.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Concept based.
This is a case of a perfectly inelastic collision in which linear momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
