A hockey puck traveling at speed v on essentially frictionless ice collides with one end of a straight stick lying flat on the ice and sticks to that end. In this collision
A) momentum is conserved.
B) angular momentum is conserved.
C) energy is conserved.
D) all of the above are conserved.
E) only momentum and angular momentum are conserved.

In this scenario, both momentum and angular momentum are conserved due to the principles of conservation laws in physics. However, because the puck sticks to the stick, it's an inelastic collision, meaning kinetic energy is not conserved as some of it is converted into other forms of energy (e.g., internal energy due to deformation).
