NEET Physics Kinetic Energy MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about kinetic energy is correct?
Kinetic energy is conserved in all types of collisions regardless of the nature of the collision.
In elastic collisions, kinetic energy before the collision is equal to kinetic energy after the collision.
Kinetic energy can be fully transformed to potential energy without loss in inelastic collisions.
Kinetic energy depends solely on the mass of the object and is independent of its velocity.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In elastic collisions, the total kinetic energy is conserved, which means that the kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy after the collision, as stated in the context of conservation of kinetic energy. Other options reflect common misconceptions about kinetic energy and its conservation.
