Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCONCEPT:
- Collision: An event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other for a very short time is called a collision.
- It results in the exchange or transformation of energy.
- Elastic Collision: A collision that takes place between two objects in which no energy is lost.
- In the case of elastic collision, the kinetic energy and momentum both are conserved.
EXPLANATION:
- In the elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
- Since in the elastic collision kinetic energy of the system is conserved, it will remain constant.
- So the correct answer is option 3.
