Conservation of Linear Momentum
Conservation of Linear Momentum
The linear momentum which is the product of mass and velocity also remains constant if the total force acting on it is zero. Consider two particles A and B. We can call the group of these two particles as System of Particles. The force exerted by A on B and exerted by B on A are called Internal Forces. Force applied on A or B by any external particle is called External Forces.We define the total linear momentum of the system as sum of linear momenta of A and B.If the two particles moving along the same straight same line, the momentum of the system is arithematic sum of their momenta, i.e. , where
,
are the masses of the particles and
are their velocities.
Examples of law of conservation of linear momentum:
1. Bomb shell explosion: A bomb shell suddenly explodes in two fragments having masses in the ratio 2 : 1. As there is no external force involved in the process of explosion the momentum of the system should be conserved.In this case the bomb is initially at rest the initial momentum of the system is zero. The conservation of momentum demands that the final momentum should also be zero. The two fragments should carry equal and opposite momentum to make total momentum zero.
2. Recoil of the gun: As the initial momentum before the firing of bullet is zero .So according to the conservation of momentum the final momentum of the system also needs to be zero.The final momentum could be zero only if the gun has a momentum equal and opposite to that of the bullet.
3. Jet engines and Rockets: A rocket at the launching pad has zero momentum.When the chemicals inside the rocket burn a high velocity blast of hot gases is produced.Thses gaes pass out the tail nozzle of the rocket in downward direction on the form of the jet with tremendous velocity.Therefore the rocket moves up with such a velocity so as to make the momentum of the system(rocket +emited gas) zero again.

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
Barkha Arora
10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

7thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

10thAbhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
