Which of the following observations represent conclusive evidence of an interaction? (Select all that apply.)

a. Change of temperature without change of velocity

b. Change of identity without change of velocity

c. Change of position without change of velocity

d. Change of shape or configuration without change of velocity

e. Change of direction without change of speed

a, b, d and e are correct.

Explanation:

a) Change of temperature without change of velocity is a conclusive evidence of an interaction. As the temperature of a body will only change if heat energy is flows in or out of the body with surrounding. So, option a) is correct.

b) Change of the direction without change of speed is an evidence of an interaction. The direction changes when the object is under a perpendicular acceleration acceleration which clearly means the particle is interacting or external force applied. So, option b is correct.

d) Change of shape or configuration without change of velocity is conclusive evidence of an interaction. The shape can change only if external stress is applied on the particle. So, Option d is correct.

e) Change of identity without change of velocity is a conclusive evidence of an interaction. The identity of an object can only change if it interacts with surroundings. So, option e is correct

Therefore the only incorrect option is c.
