Q. In inelastic collision of two bodies, which of following do not change after the collision

Q. The total kinetic energy in an elastic collision is conserved even during the collision
Total linear momentum is conserved in an elastic collision.

Q. During inelastic collision between two bodies, which of the following quantities always remain conserved?

Q. Assertion :In an elastic collision between two bodies, the relative speed of the bodies after collision is equal to the relative speed before the collision. Reason: In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

Underline the correct alternative :

(a) When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases / decreases / remains unaltered.

(b) Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic / potential energy.

(c) The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force / sum of the internal forces on the system.

(d) In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy / total linear momentum / total energy of the system of two bodies.
