Q: In a system when there is a collision between two nonelastic bodies, it consists of:
  • A. Both momentum and kinetic energy are changed.
  • B. The kinetic energy is changed but the momentum is conserved.
  • C. The momentum is changed but the kinetic energy is conserved.
  • D. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
Correct Answer: Option B - In a system, when a collision occurs between two inelastic bodies, their kinetic energy is changed due to the force exerted on them, but the momentum is conserved.
B. In a system, when a collision occurs between two inelastic bodies, their kinetic energy is changed due to the force exerted on them, but the momentum is conserved.

Explanations:

In a system, when a collision occurs between two inelastic bodies, their kinetic energy is changed due to the force exerted on them, but the momentum is conserved.
