MCQ
When two bodies collide elastically, then
- AKinetic energy of the system alone is conserved
- BOnly momentum is conserved
- ✓Both energy and momentum are conserved
- DNeither energy nor momentum is conserved
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Both energy and momentum are conserved
c
(c) In collisions in absence of any external force the momentum is conserved.
(c) In collisions in absence of any external force the momentum is conserved.
As the collision is elastic so there will not be any deformation in the shapes of the bodies so there will not be any
loss in energy so the energy will remain constant.

A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end,, is fixed on the terrace of a building of height $3 h$ from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is released on the slide from rest at a height $h$ from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity $\vec{u}_0=u_0 \hat{x}$ and falls on the ground at a distance $d$ from the building making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$ and reaches a maximum height $h_l$.
