Question

question 7 of 26 which statement is not true about inelastic collisions? a. kinetic energy is always conserved. b. energy is always conserved. c. momentum is always conserved. d. mass is always conserved.

Explanation:

In inelastic collisions, total energy is conserved (including non - kinetic forms like heat or deformation energy), momentum is conserved, and mass is conserved. However, kinetic energy is not conserved as some of it is transformed into other forms of energy.

Answer:

A. Kinetic energy is always conserved.
