$A$ sphere of mass $m$ slides down a smooth inclined plane from a point $B$ at a height of $h$ starting from rest. The magnitude of the change in momentum of the particle between position $A$ (at the bottom of the incline) and $C$ (on the horizontal surface) is (assuming the angle of inclination of the plane is $\theta$ with respect to the horizontal):

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $2m \sqrt{2gh} \sin \theta$
  • C
    $2m \sqrt{2gh} \sin(\theta/2)$
  • D
    $2m \sqrt{2gh}$

Assertion $(A)$: When we bounce a ball on the ground, it comes to rest after a few bounces, losing all its energy. This is an example of violation of conservation of energy.
Reason $(R)$: Energy can change from one form to another but the total energy is always conserved.
