Question

Define the terms momentum and impulse. State and explain the law of conservation of linear momentum. Give its examples.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hii mate,

◆ Momentum-

- It is a vector quantity that is the product of the mass and the velocity of an object or particle.

- The standard unit of momentum magnitude is the kgm/s.

◆ Impulse-

- Ii is a vector quantity that is the product of the force acting on a body and the time interval during which the force is exerted.

- The unit of impulse is also kgm/s.

● Law of conservation of momentum -

- 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

- For example, when a bullet is fired from gun gun recoils with some velocity.
