Answer:
A. TOTAL MOMENTUM OF THE SYSTEM IS CONSERVED.
Explanation:
Inelastic collision is a collision between two objects in which kinetic energy is lost from the system. In inelastic collision, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not because some of the energy has been lost through heat or transferred to a different form o energy. Inelastic collision can be perfectly inelastic and partially inelastic. In perfectly inelastic collision, the objects collide and become one mass resulting in a loss of kinetic energy but momentum is conserved. The momentum before collision is therefore equal to the momentum immediately after collision.
That is; M Vi = (M1 + M2) Vf
Vf = MV / (M1 + M2); where Vf is velocity after collision, Vi is velocity beore collision.
