prove the conversation law of linear momentum for single particle system.
Answers
Explanation:
This means that P = constant. So whenever the total force acting on the system of a particle is equal to zero then the total linear momentum of the system is constant or conserved. This is nothing but the law of conservation of total linear momentum of a system of particles
Expert Answer:
Law of conservation of linear momentum states that total momentum of the system is always conserved if no external force acts on an object or system of objects. Consider a collision between two balls wherein there occurs no energy losses during the collision.
Momentum of the two balls before collision,
A system must meet two requirements for its momentum to be conserved: The mass of the system must remain constant during the interaction.As the objects interact (apply forces on each other), they may transfer mass from one to another; but any mass one object gains is balanced by the loss of that mass from another.
