Two particles are seen to collide and move jointly together after the collision . During such a collision, for the total system,

A

both the mechanical energy and the linear momentum are conserved

B

linear momentum is conserved but not the mechanical energy

C

neither the mechanical energy nor the linear momentum is conserved

D

mechanical energy is conserved but not the linear momentum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
This is a case of a totally inelastic collision, in which linear momentum is conserved but the total mechanical energy is not conserved.
