Consider the following statements A and B. Identify the correct choice in the given answers. A. In an inelastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy during collision. B. During a collision, the linear momentum of the entire system of particles is conserved if there is no external force acting on the system.
  1. Both A and B are wrong.
  2. Both A and B are correct.
  3. $\mathrm{A}$ is wrong and $\mathrm{B}$ is correct.
  4. A is correct and B is wrong.

Solution

In elastic collision, there is a loss in kinetic energy. However, momentum is conserved if there is no external force acting on the system.
