MOMENTUM AND IMPULSE

1 Which of the following statements is true about the elastic collision between two
objects?

A The momentum and total energy are conserved but the kinetic energy can be
converted into other forms of energy.
B Both the momentum and total energy are conserved if and only if the mass of
the two objects is identical
C The kinetic energy is conserved whereas the total energy is reduced but can be
increased.
D Momentum, kinetic energy and total energy must be conserved.
