Question

Consider the following two statements:
(A) The linear momentum of a particle is independent of the frame of reference.
(B) The kinetic energy of a particle is independent of the frame of reference.
(a) Both A and B are true.
(b) A is true but B is false.
(c) A is false but B is true.
(d) both A and B are false.

Solution

(d) both A and B are false.

As the velocity of the particle depends on the frame of reference, the linear momentum as well as the kinetic energy is dependent on the frame of reference.
