Q. In an inelastic collision, which of the following is true?

Momentum is conserved but not K.E.

KE. is conserved, but not momentum

Both momentum and K.E. are conserved

Neither momentum nor K.E. are conserved

In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
