Question

Name any two applications of the law of conservation of linear momentum and explain why

Answer 1

Answer:

The principle of conservation of momentum states that if two objects collide, then the total momentum before and after the collision will be the same if there is no external force acting on the colliding objects.

Applications of the law of conservation of linear momentum :

Air bags are used in automobiles because they are able to minimize the effect of the force on an object involved in a collision. Air bags accomplish this by extending the time required to stop the momentum of the driver and passenger.
