JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

Statement-1 : Two particles moving in the same direction do not lose all their energy in a completely inelastic collision.
Statement-2 : Principle of conservation of momentum holds true for all kinds of collisions.

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: A. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. AStatement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is the correct explanation of Statement-1.
  2. BStatement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not the correct explanation of Statement-1
  3. CStatement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
  4. DStatement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

Correct answer: A

Solution

(a) If initial momentum of particles is zero, then they loss all their energy in inelastic collision but here initial momentum is not zero. Principle of conservation of momentum holds good for all collision.
