No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.

An inelastic collision of two objects is characterized by the following.

serious [3.7K]

Options:

(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

(d) Neither A nor B are true.

Answer:

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.

In an inelastic collision:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.
