Question

conservation of momentum ​

Answer 1

Answer:

conservation of momentum is a fundamental law of physics which state that the momentum of a system is constant if there are no external forces acting on the system. It is embodied in newton's first law of inertia .

Explanation:

Suppose we have two interacting particles 1 and 2, possibly of different masses. The forces between them are equal and opposite. According to Newton's second law, force is the time rate of change of the momentum, so we conclude that the rate of change of momentum  of particle 1 is equal to minus the rate of change of momentum  of a particle 2,

(1)

Now, if the rate of change is always equal and opposite, it follows that the total change in the momentum of particle 1 is equal and opposite of the total change in the momentum of particle 2. That means that if we sum the two momenta the result is zero,

(2)

But the statement that the rate of change of this sum is zero is equivalent to stating that the quantity is a constant. This sum is called the total momentum of a system, and in general it is the sum of all individuals momenta of each particle in the system.

For electromagnetic radiation,

(3)

so in cgs,

(4)

where T is the Maxwell stress tensor,  is the force density, S is the Poynting vector, c is the speed of light, and  is the momentum density.

Answer 2

Explanation:

For an isolated system, total momentum before collision is equal to total momentum after collision

(isolated system :- if external force is 0 then it is known as isolated system)
