4. State the law of conservation of momentum. Derive the law of conservation of
momentum
Answers
Answer:
The law of conservation of momentum states that for two objects colliding in an isolated system, the total momentum before and after the collision is equal. This is because the momentum lost by one object is equal to the momentum gained by the other.
Explanation:
f=ma
F1 = Force exerted by truck on the car
F1 = m2(v2–u2)/t
Acceleration of truck =(v1–u1)/t
F2 = m1(v1–u1)/t and F1 = –F2
m2(v2– u2)/t = –m1(v1– u1)/t
m2v2–m2u2 = –m1v1+m1u1
or m1u1+m2u2 = m2v2+m1v1
Answer:
The law of conservation of momentum states that for two objects colliding in an isolated system, the total momentum before and after the collision is equal. This is because the momentum lost by one object is equal to the momentum gained by the other.
Derivation of conservation of momentum
Consider two colliding particles A and B whose masses are m1 and m2 with initial and final velocities as u1 and v1 of A and u2 and v2 of B. The time of contact between two particles is given as t.
A=m1(v1−u1) (change in momentum of particle A)
B=m2(v2−u2) (change in momentum of particle B)
FBA=−FAB (from third law of motion)
FBA=m2∗a2=m2(v2−u2)t
FAB=m1∗a1=m1(v1−u1)t
m2(v2−u2)t=−m1(v1−u1)t
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
Therefore, above is the equation of law of conservation of momentum where, m1u1+m2u2 is the representation of total momentum of particles A and B before collision and m1v1+m2v2 is the representation of total momentum of particles A and B after collision.
