Q. In an elastic collision of two bodies, the momentum and energy of each body is conserved.

Q. Assertion :No external force acts on a system of two spheres which undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. The minimum kinetic energy of this system is zero if the net momentum of the system is zero. Reason: If any two bodies undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision, at the instant of maximum deformation, the complete kinetic energy of the system is converted to deformation potential energy of the system.

Q. Assertion :In an elastic collision of two bodies, the momentum and energy of the system are conserved. Reason: If two bodies stick to each other, after colliding, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

Q. A uniform rod is lying on a horizontal table and it is hinged at one end. A body collides with the rod such that the collision is elastic then

I) Conservation of momentum is applicable
II) Conservation of angular momentum is applicable about hinged point
III) Conservation of mechanical energy is applicable

Q. Assertion (A) : When a body moving with certain velocity collides with another body of same mass at rest, the collision being perfectly elastic head on collision, 100% of its K.E is transferred to the latter
Reason (R) : Both momentum and K.E are conserved in the case of perfectly elastic collision
