m1v1+m2v2)= (m1u1+ m2u2) This formula represents
Answers
Answer:
The principle of conservation of momentum can be used in two dimensions by expressing the velocities in vector form to obtain: m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2. ... The velocity of particle A before the collision was (4i − 3j)ms−1 and the velocity of particle B before the collision was (4i + 4j) m s−1.
Answer:
The law of conservation of momentum.
Explanation:
Since (m1 u1 + m2 u2 ) is the total momentum of the two objects 1 and 2 before the collision and (m1 v1 + m2v2) is their total momentum
after the collision, we observe that the total momentum of the two object
remains unchanged or conserved provided no other external force acts.
As a result of this ideal collision experiment, we say that the sum of momenta of the two objects before collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision provided there is no external unbalanced force acting on them. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum
