Which of the following statements is true about collision event?
A. in elastic collision, both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved B. In elastic collision, linear momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved C. In inelastic collision, both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. D. In inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved but the linear momentum is not conserved
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
In elastic collision, both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. In inelastic collision, only linear momentum is conserved, K.E. is not conserved
