Statement1: |
In a two–body collision, the momenta of the particles are equal and opposite to one another, before as well as after the collision when measured in the centre of mass frame |
Statement2: |
The momentum of the system is zero from the centre of mass frame |
a) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1 |
b) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1 |
