### Question: Properties of Inelastic CollisionsAn inelastic collision of two objects is characterized by which of the following:- a. Total momentum of the system remains constant.- b. Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.- c. Both A and B are true.- d. Neither A nor B are true.### ExplanationIn this type of multiple-choice question:#### Answer Analysis:1. **Option a**: In inelastic collisions, while individual momenta of objects change, the total momentum of the system is conserved. This is due to the conservation of momentum principle.2. **Option b**: The total kinetic energy of the system is **not** conserved in inelastic collisions; some of it is converted into other forms of energy like heat or sound.3. **Option c**: As established in the explanations, while total momentum is conserved, total kinetic energy is not. Therefore, both statements cannot simultaneously be true.4. **Option d**: This option asserts that neither the total momentum nor the total kinetic energy is conserved. Since total momentum is conserved, option d is incorrect.#### Correct Answer:- **Option a**: The total momentum of the system remains constant.This fundamental concept is crucial in the study of classical mechanics, especially in understanding collision dynamics.
