Question:

Two masses of constant velocities collide with each other. Which of the following quantities are conserved ? 

Options:

Force

Torque

Momentum

Velocity

Correct Answer:

Momentum

Explanation:

Initial momentum : $p_i = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

Final momentum : $p_f = m_1 v_1' + m_2 v_2'$

According to Conservation of Linear Momentum, $p_i = p_f$
