Explain conservation of linear momentum by sutiable example |
|
Answer» If the net external force acting on a system of bodies is zero, then the momentum of the system remains constant. This is the basic law of conservation of linear momentum.1) When a bullet is fired from a gun, the recoil of the gun can be explained on the basis of the law of conservation of linear momentum.2) When a heavy nucleus at rest disintegrates into two smaller nuclei, the products move in opposite directions, obeying the law of conservation of linear momentum.3) The motion of rockets is obeyed by the law of conservation of linear momentum. Here initial momentum is equal to final momentum ex is recoiling of gun |
