Questions  

In a two block system, an initial velocity v0 with respect to ground is given to block A. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

a
The momentum of block A is not conserved.
b
The momentum of system of blocks A and B is conserved.
c
The increase in momentum of B is equal to the decrease in momentum of block A.
d
All of the above

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Force of friction on A is backward and force of friction on B is forward. Net external force on the system is zero. Hence, momentum of system will remain conserved. As the momentum of system is conserved, so increase in momentum of B is equal to decrease in momentum of A.
