| Assertion (A): | Total momentum of an isolated system of particles is conserved. |
| Reason (R): | Total momentum of a system of particles cannot change due to interactions within the system, since these are action-reaction pairs. Therefore, in the absence of external force, momentum is conserved. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 1. | \(0.4~\text{m/s}\) in the same direction as the ball. |
| 2. | \(0.4~\text{m/s}\) in the opposite direction of the ball. |
| 3. | \(2~\text{m/s}\) in the same direction as the ball. |
| 4. | \(4~\text{m/s}\) in the same direction as the ball. |
