Question

Which of the following statements are true? (Select All thatapply.) Thevelocity of the center of mass of a system changes only when thereis a net external force on the system. For thetotal linear momentum of a system to be conserved, there must be noexternal forces acting on the system.

Thetotal linear momentum of a system may be conserved even when themechanical energy of the
system is not.
