NEET Physics Kinetic Energy Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system is conserved.
Reason (R): In an elastic collision between two bodies of equal mass, the velocities are exchanged.
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
While both statements are true, the reason (R) is a specific case of elastic collisions, not the general reason for kinetic energy conservation.
