Give two examples showing the conservation of momentum give one example where momentum is not conserved?
Brendaavelar98
Momentum like mass will always be conserved in any process.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the object.
It is symbolically denoted as p=m*v where p = momentum, m = mass and v = velocity

∙ 10y agoThere are no known cases where momentum is notconserved. Thus, you won't be able to find such an example. Examples where it is conserved, of course, abound - whatever happens in this Universe, momentum is conserved. The basic cases are: an object just lying around; two objects in an elastic collision; two objects in an inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved in all of these cases - the total momentum after a collission is the same as the total momentum before the collission.

What is an example of an event when momentum is not conserved?
No, there has not been a single violation of the law of conservation of momentum.
Conservation of linear momentum exp?
Linear momentum is mass times velocity. For a single point object, momentum is conserved, because the object will continue to move at a constant velocity. Nor will its mass change either. For a group of objects, too: When momentum is transferred, for example during a collision, any momentum lost by one object is gained by another. The total momentum remains constant.
Why in a collision momentum is not always conserved?
In principle momentum is always conserved. However what sometimes happens in a collision is that energy is released that is then no longer considered part of the system. For example if two cars collide energy could be dissipated via the air and ground (e.g. heat) and this can also carry away momentum. Often, these effects are not taken into account and in that way momentum conservation appears to be violated; but if one takes care and takes into account all collision products the total momentum after is equal to the total momentum prior. So in short, any violation can be traced back to a redefinition of the system.
What is an example for conservation of momentum?
the equal force applied by a wall when you push agaginst it
What are 3 laws of nature?
For example, various conservation laws (conservation of mass, of energy, of momentum, of angular momentum, of electric charge), Newton's Second Law, the Universal Law of Gravitation, etc.

What is and example of conservation of momentum?
In an isolated system the total momentum of a system remains conserved. For example If you fire a bullet from Gun , bullet go forward with some linear momentum and in order to conserve the linear momentum the gun recoils
Is an example of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision.

What is the law o conservation of momentum?
It means there is a quantity called "momentum", defined as velocity x time, that is conserved. That is, whatever interaction occurs, for example, objects bumping into other objects, the TOTAL momento will not change. In such bumping, momentum can be transferred from one object to another, of course. Note that since velocity is a vector, momentum is also a vector.
Law of conservation?
A "law of conservation" is a law, in physics, that states that some quantity doesn't change over time. There are several conservation laws; such as the law of conservation of mass, of energy, of momentum, of rotational momentum, of electric charge, of color charge, and several others more.
How does the law of conservation apply to a game of pool?
There are several laws of conservation; please clarify which one you mean. For example, there is the law of conservation of mass, of energy, of momentum, of rotational momentum, of electrical charge, and others.
What happens to the total momentum of two objects in a system before and after interactions?
The total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. This is known as "conservation of momentum".
