Question

True or False
Two particles can collide and one can leave at right angles to the other in a perfect inelastic collision.
Momentum is conserved in all collisions and kinetic energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions.
It is not possible for a one mass to transfer all its momentum to an identical but initially stationary mass.
For a pair of colliding particles, if there was zero total momentum in the x direction before a collision there will be zero after.
In a perfect inelastic collision momentum is not conserved.

Explanation / Answer

here,

Two particles can collide and one can leave at right angles to the other in a perfect inelastic collision
this statement is incorrect ,as if the collison is perfectly inelastic , they will stick together

Momentum is conserved in all collisions and kinetic energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions
this statemnet is correct momentume remains conserved in all collisons

It is not possible for a one mass to transfer all its momentum to an identical but initially stationary mass.
this statement is false
it is possible when the collsion is perfectly elastic

For a pair of colliding particles, if there was zero total momentum in the x direction before a collision there will be zero after.
this statement is true
as the momentum remains conserved along the x direction

In a perfect inelastic collision momentum is not conserved.
this statement is false
as the momentum remains conserved in all collison
