state and derive law of conservation of momentum
Answers
Answer:
STATEMENT:
Law of conservation of momentum : It states that if a group of objects are interacting with each other, then their total momentum remains conserved before and after the interaction, provided no external force acts on them.
DERIVATION :
Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
DERIVING THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM-
Let,
mA = Mass of ball A
mB= Mass of ball Ba
uA= initial velocity of ball A
uB= initial velocity of ball B
vA= Velocity after collision of ball A
vB= Velocity after collision of ball B
Fab= Force exerted by A on B
Fba= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in momentum of A= momentum of A after collision - momentum of A before collision
= mA vA - mA uA
Rate of change of momentum A= Change in momentum of A/ time taken
= mA vA - mA uA/t
Force exerted by B on A (Fba)=
Fba= mA vA - mA uA/t. [i]
In the same way,
Rate of change of momentum of B=
mV vB - mB uB/t
Force exerted by A on B (Fab)=
Fab= mB vB - mB uB/t. [ii]
Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then,
Fab= -Fba [ ' -- ' sign is used to indicate that 1 object is moving in opposite direction after collision]
Using [i] and [ii] , we have
mB vB - mB uB/t = - (mA vA - mA uA/t)
mB vB - mB uB= - mA vA + mA uA
Finally we get,
mB vB + mA vA = mB uB + mA uA
This is the derivation of conservation of linear momentum.
mark this as brainliest
Newton's third law states that for a force applied by an object A on object B, object B exerts back an equal force in magnitude, but opposite in direction. This idea was used by Newton to derive the law of conservation of momentum. ... B=m_{2}(v_{2}-u_{2}) (change in momentum of particle B)
