1.	What are the examples of Conservation of momentum?
Answer» Bullet and Gun – When bullet is fired from a gun, gun recoils in the opposite direction of bullet. The momentum of bullet is equal to momentum of gun. Since, the bullet is has very small mass compared to the gun, hence velocity of bullet is very high compared to the recoil of gun. In the case of firing of bullet, law of conservation of momentum is applied as usual. When a cricket ball is hit by bat, the Law of Conservation of Momentum is applied.
