An object of mass $M_1$ moving horizontally with speed $u$ collides elastically with another object of mass $M_2$ at rest. Select the correct statement.

  • A
    The momentum of the system is conserved only in the direction $PQ$.
  • B
    The momentum of $M_1$ is conserved in the direction perpendicular to $SR$.
  • C
    The momentum of $M_2$ will change in the direction normal to $CR$.
