A. linear momentum of the system does not change in time
B. kinetic energy of the system does not change in time
C. angular momentum of the system may change in time
D. potential energy of the system does not change in time.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A::C
`Sigma vec(F)_("ext") = vec(0) rArr vec(P) = ` constant So, option (A) is correct.
