Conservation equations are powerful equations, because of how versatile and flexible they are to different physical situations. Conservation of mass is a simple one that can even be applied to fluids with care. The conservation of momentum also applies to any closed system, such as collisions. We've examined the nuances of energy conservation in our labs with total mechanical energy. Does kinetic energy remain conserved in all collisions too?

a) true
b) false

Answer:

b) false

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the given situation it is mentioned that the mass conversation would be simple and same applied to the fluids with care also the conservation of momentum would be applied to any type of closed system like collisions

But as we know that

In the inelastic collisions, the total kinetic energy would not be remain conserved

So the given statement is false
