When two bodies collide elastically, then

Question

When two bodies collide elastically, then (A) Kinetic energy of the system alone is conserved (B) Only momentum is conserved (C) Both Kinetic energy and momentum is conserved (D) Neither kinetic energy nor momentum is conserved

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In elastic collision, both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. In this collision, total energy is also conserved.
