Question

Assertion : In a perfectly inelastic collision the kinetic energy is never conserved.
Reason : The objects get deformed and stick together in perfectly inelastic collision.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In a perfectly inelastic collision the objects in the absence of external forces, get deformed and stick together hence the kinetic energy is never conserved.
