Two objects collide and separate after the collision, but the total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved. Which of the following statements is true? a. This is an inelastic collision. b. This is an example in which linear momentum is not conserved. c. This is an elastic collision. d. This occurs when one of the colliding bodies is at rest before the collision.

Two objects constitute an isolated system. In an elastic collision between the two objects, which one of the following statements is a false statement? The magnitudes of the forces exerted by each object on the other object are equal. The total momentum is conserved. The total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision. The total kinetic energy is conserved. The kinetic energy of each object is the same before and after the collision.
