Q. Assertion : The conservation of kinetic energy in elastic collision applies after the collision is over and does not hold at every instant of the collision.
Reason : During a collision the total linear momentum is conserved at each instant of the collision.

Work, Energy and Power

Solution:

Correct answer is (b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
