Choose the correct alternative:1. When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases/ decreases/remains unaltered.2. Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.3. The rate of change of total momentum of a many particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.4. In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/ total energy of the system of two bodies. |

Why is kinetic energy not conserved in elastic collision of billiard balls, colliding for a short interval |
|
Answer» In reality, examples of perfectly elastic collisions are not part of our everyday experience. However, there are some examples of collisions in mechanics where the energy lost can be negligible. These collisions can be considered elastic, even though they are not perfectly elastic. Collisions of rigid billiard balls or the balls leads to negligible amount of energy. Hence, Kinetic energy is not conserved. |
