Question
Physics Question on work, energy and power
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion (A) : There is no loss in energy in elastic collision.
Reason (R) : Linear momentum is conserved in elastic collision.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Solution
Answer (b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Assertion : There is no loss in energy in elastic collision. (Correct)
Reason : Linear momentum is conserved in elastic collision. (True but not correct explanation)
