STATEMENT-1 : In an elastic collision between two bodies, the relative speed of the bodies after collision is equal to the relative speed before the collision.
because
STATEMENT-2 : In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
According to Newton’s Law
e = 
For elastic collision cofficient of restitution e = 1 so
= 
Statement - 1 is correct
Linear momentum is conserved in both elastic & non elastic collision but it’s not the explanation of
statement -1 so it is not the correct explanation of the statement A.
