Q6 of 48 Page 38

During inelastic collision between two bodies, which of the following quantities always remain conserved?

In inelastic collision no external force is present.

∴ total linear momentum of the system remains conserved.


Option (c) is correct.


kinetic energy appears in various forms i.e.; energy


May be lost in various forms of heat, sound etc.


∴ either (initial K.E. or final K.E. will be greater)


M.E.=K.E.+P.E. (∵ K.E. Is not constant ∴ M.E. will also be


not constant)


Option (a), (b), (d) is incorrect.

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear SHM is given by V (x) = kx2where k is the force constant of the oscillator (Fig. 6.2). For k = 0.5N/m, the graph of V(x) versus x is shown in the figure. A particle of total energy E turns back when it reaches x = ±xm. If V and K indicate the P.E. and K.E., respectively of the particle at x = +xm, then which of the following is correct?
