Question

Consider the following two statements :

(A) The linear momentum of a particle is independent of the frame of reference.

(B) The kinetic energy of a particle is independent of the frame of reference.

(a) Both A and B are true,

(b) A is true but B is false,

(c) A is false but B is true,

(d) both A and B are false.

Answer 1

(d) both A and B are false.

Explanation:

With the application of pseudo force in a noninertial frame of reference velocities change, so do linear momentum and kinetic energy because both depend on velocity. Hence both statements are false.
