State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(1)$ In the law of conservation of momentum, the center of mass velocity remains constant.
$(2)$ "If the resultant of internal forces on a system is zero, then the total linear momentum of the system remains constant." This is the statement of the law of conservation of linear momentum.
$(3)$ The position of the center of mass of a rigid body must always be inside the rigid body.
$(4)$ All particles of a rigid body undergoing rotational motion have the same linear velocity.

(D) $(1)$ False. The velocity of the center of mass remains constant if the net external force is zero.
$(2)$ False. The statement should refer to the resultant of external forces, not internal forces.
$(3)$ False. The center of mass can be located outside the body (e.g., a ring).
$(4)$ False. In rotational motion, all particles have the same angular velocity, but their linear velocities depend on their distance from the axis of rotation $(v = r\omega)$.
