NEET Physics Angular Momentum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The total linear momentum of a system is conserved during a collision.
Reason (R): The forces between the colliding objects are equal and opposite according to Newton's third law.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that the total linear momentum is conserved due to equal and opposite forces acting during the collision, which is explained by Newton's third law.
