    Options:

    (a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.

    (b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

    (c) Both A and B are true.

    (d) Neither A nor B are true.

    Answer:

    (b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

    Explanation:

    An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.

    In an inelastic collision:

    Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

    An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.
