MCQ
The quantities remaining constant in a collision are
  • A
    Momentum, kinetic energy and temperature
  • B
    Momentum and kinetic energy but not temperature
  • C
    Momentum and temperature but not kinetic energy
  • Momentum but neither kinetic energy nor temperature

Answer

Correct option: D.
Momentum but neither kinetic energy nor temperature
d
(d) since velocities of the colliding bodies change, the $K.E.$ will change. The shapes of the bodies at the time of collision change due to the force, hence temperature will also change.

Only the momentum will remain constant.

In an experiment, mass of an object is measured by applying a known force on it, and then measuring its acceleration. If in the experiment, the measured values of applied force and the measured acceleration are $F=10.0 \pm 0.2 \,N$ and $a=1.00 \pm 0.01 \,m / s ^2$, respectively. Then, the mass of the object is ............... $kg$
