Which of the following statements about elastic collision is correct?
A
momentum is lost due to the sound produced
B
loss of momentim is equal to loss in kinetic energy
C
both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved
D
kinetic energy is lost while momentum is conserved
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
In an elastic collision, both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
