Which statement about collisions is correct?


  • Momentum is only conserved in perfectly elastic collisions.


  • When two objects of different masses collide, they exert forces of different magnitudes on each other.


  • Kinetic energy is conserved in all collisions.


  • The relative speed of approach is equal to the relative speed of separation for perfectly elastic collisions.
