Question

Suppose a ball of mass 'm' is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed 'v', its speed decreases continuously till it becomes zero. Therefore, the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed 'v' again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of initial and final momenta of the ball are same. Yet, it is not an example of conservation of momentum. Explain why.​

Answer 1

$\red{ \underline{ \boxed{ \odot\mid{ \bf{Answer:-}}}}}$

➥Law of conservation of linear momentum applies only to isolated systems where there is no external force.In this case,change in velocity of ball (upwards and downwards) is due to attractional pull of earth.That is why this motion of ball is not an example of conservation of momentum.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To castrate with rubber rings, we use a tool called an elastrator. It can only be used to castrate ruminants which are a few days old.
