Question
Assertion :– Two objects are moving towards each other due to mutual attraction. The kinetic energy of the system remains constant.Reason :– Total linear momentum of the system consisting both the objects remain constant even in the presence of external forces. Both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.Both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.Assertion is True but the Reason is False.Both Assertion & Reason are False.
Solution
The correct answer is: Assertion is True but the Reason is False.
Explanation:
The assertion is true because when two objects move towards each other due to mutual attraction, their potential energy decreases while their kinetic energy increases, keeping the total energy of the system constant.
However, the reason is false. The total linear momentum of a system remains constant only in the absence of external forces, not in their presence. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum.
