or may not be conserved.
C. In an elastic collision of an object with a wall, the incident angle
is equal to the final angle.
D. In an elastic collision of an object with a wall, the original
momentum vector does not change as a result of the collision.
E. In an elastic collision of an object with a wall, the wall cannot
change the momentum of the object because momentum is
conserved.
