Momentum is conserved in which of the following?
A)elastic collisions
B)inelastic collisions
C)explosions
D)collisions between automobiles
E)All of these are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Momentum is conserved in all of the given scenarios. In elastic collisions, momentum is conserved due to the conservation of kinetic energy. In inelastic collisions, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not. In explosions, the objects move apart with a certain momentum, which is conserved. And finally, in collisions between automobiles, momentum is conserved due to the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, all of the given options (A, B, C, and D) are correct.
