Internal forces can change

A

Linear momentum as well as kinetic energy

B

Linear momentum but not the kinetic energy

C

Kinetic energy but not the linear momentum

D

Neither kinetic energy nor linear momentum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to newton.s second law we know that only external forces acting in a system can be change its linear momentum . Linear momentum is not affected by internal forces . But kinetic energy can be changes by internal force .
