A ball hits the floor and rebounds after an inelastic collision. In this case

A

the momentum of the ball just after the collision is the same as the just before the collision

B

the mechanical energy of the ball remains the same in the collision

C

the total momentum of the ball and earth is conserved

D

the total energy of the ball and the earth is conserved

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The ball & the earth froms a system and no external force acts on it. Hence total momentum remains constant.
