MCQ
The quantities remaining constant in a collisions 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.
Linear momentum of a system remains constant in a collision. However, the kinetic energy and temperature of the system may vary, as their values depend on the type of collision.
