Statement-1 : Kinetic energy is conserved in both, perfectly elastic and perfectly inelastic collisions. Statement-2 : Because linear momentum is conserved in both.

Show that total linear momentum is conserved in all collisions.

Assertion: There is not loss in energy in elastic collision. Reason: Linear momentum is conserved in elastic collision.

Regarding linear momentum of a body (a) It is a measure of quantity of motion contained by the body (b) Change in momentum is the measure of impulse (c ) Impulse and acceleration act in opposite direction to the change im momentum (d) In the case of uniform circular motion the linear momentum is conserved .

Assertion: The conservation of kinetic energy in elastic collision applies after the collision is over and does not hold at very instant of the collision. Reason: During a collision the total linear momentum is conserved at each instant of the collision.
