CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM

Law of motion that states that if an object exerts a force on the other, the other object also exerts force towards it with equal magnitude.

• 1st Law - Law of Inertia

• 2nd Law - Law of Acceleration

• 3rd Law - Law of Interation

What does stationary in Physics mean?

• Refers to an object that is at rest, meaning it has no velocity and therefore, no momentum.

•  an object that is at motion, it has velocity

• changing direction and magnitude

It is a short duration interaction between two objects.

• Speed

• Momentum

• Collision

Law Of Conservations states that ________

• two objects in an isolated system collide, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision

• before the collision, the total momentum is not equal but after the collision, total momentum of the objects become equal

• two objects in an isolated system collide, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is not equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision

In studying momentum of two or more colliding objects, What type of system is being considered and applied in studying Momentum?

• Open momentum system

• Isolated or closed momentum system

• Both open and closed momentum system

Momentum is transferred in collisions through the forces that the colliding objects exert on each other.

• TRUE

• FALSE

• CANNOT BE DETERMINED IF CORRECT OR NOT

Conservation in Momentum is mathematically calculated as ________.

• m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m1) v′

• m1v1+m2v2=(m2+m2) v′

• m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2) v′

The transfer of momentum in a collision can be analysed using vector quantities.

• Magnitude and Direction

• Only Magnitude

• Only Direction

Momentum of a moving body is being measured and calculated using ________ formula.

• mass divided by velocity

• mass times its time interval

• mass times its velocity

Which of the following statements is/are TRUE about Conservation of Momentum?

A. The total momentum of the system is conserved, meaning it remains constant before and after the collision.

B. Two or more colliding objects, a closed system or isolated is considered

C. The total momentum is not conserved but it remains constant before and after collision.em or isolated syste

• A and C

• A and B
