MHT CET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
Consider the following statements A and B. Identify the correct choice in the given answers.
A. In an inelastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy during collision.
B. During a collision, the linear momentum of the entire system of particles is conserved if there is no external force acting on the system.
- A Both A and B are wrong.
- B Both A and B are correct.
- C \(\mathrm{A}\) is wrong and \(\mathrm{B}\) is correct.
- D A is correct and B is wrong.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{A}\) is wrong and \(\mathrm{B}\) is correct.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In elastic collision, there is a loss in kinetic energy. However, momentum is conserved if there is no external force acting on the system.
