Question

Name two phenomena which can be explained on the basis of law of conservation of momentum

Answer 1

• Firing a bullet from the gun
• Collision of balls in billiards
• When a shot is fired from a gun, the gun recoils
• An ice skater executing a spin

WHAT IS CONVERSATION OF MOMENTUM?

Conservation of momentum is actually a direct consequence of Newton's third law.

Explanation:

For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.
