Conservation of Energy and Momentum MCQs for NEET

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Although, it may be transformed from one form to another.

Law of conservation of momentum states that for two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.
