CHAPTER 3
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.
2 An object of mass m moving with a velocity v collides into another object of the same
mass which is at rest. After collision, the objects move with same velocity. Which of
the following statements is correct?
