Which quantity remains conserved in an elastic collision?

  • A Only kinetic energy
  • B Both momentum and kinetic energy
  • C Neither momentum nor kinetic energy
  • D Only momentum
Correct Answer: Option B — Both momentum and kinetic energy
Explanation:
In an elastic collision, both total momentum and total kinetic energy of the system are conserved before and after the collision, unlike inelastic collisions where kinetic energy is lost as heat or deformation.
