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.
