Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum
Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum
The linear momentum of a particle is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of that particle. Conservation of momentum of a particle is a property exhibited by any particle where the total amount of momentum never changes. Linear momentum of a particle is a vector quantity and is denoted by
If the net external force on a system of particles is zero, the linear momentum of the system remains constant.
Explanation:
This means that internal forces cannot change the linear momentum of the system. Internal forces can change the momenta of the different particles in the system. If the momentum of one particle is increased, that of some other particle must decrease to keep the total momentum of the system constant.
Q. Two particles A and B of masses 20g and 30g respectively are at rest at a certain time.Because of the force exerted by them on each other, the particles start moving. At a given instant ,particle A is found to move towards the east with a velocity of 6cm/s. What is the velocity of particle B at this instant?
Solution: As the particles are at rest initially, the linear momentum of each is zero.The force exerted by the particles on each other are internal forces of the system and cannot change the linear momentum of the system, which remains zero during this time.
At the given instant,the linear momentum of particle A is
The linear momentum of particle B at this must be -120 g cm/s to make the momentum of the system zero. Thus, particle B moves towards the west with a velocity , where

I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying

10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

8thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

8thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.

8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

10thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Om Umang
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
