Two objects collide and stick together. Which of the following is false?
A) momentum is conserved
B) kinetic energy is lost
C) kinetic energy is conserved
D) total energy is conserved
E) the collision is perfectly inelastic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a collision where two objects stick together, it is considered a perfectly inelastic collision. In such collisions, momentum is conserved (A is true), kinetic energy is not conserved (B is true and C is false), total energy is conserved (D is true), and by definition, the collision is perfectly inelastic (E is true).
