NEET Physics Angular Momentum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In all collisions, the total linear momentum is conserved. | Reason (R): The forces during a collision are internal to the system of colliding bodies and cancel each other 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 assertion is true because momentum conservation is a fundamental principle in collisions. The reason correctly explains this by citing Newton's third law, which states that forces within the system cancel each other, leaving the total momentum unchanged.
