Momentum is the product of mass times velocity. The sum of (momentum x velocity) for all parts of a closed system remains constant. For instance, if two balls collide, any momentum lost by one is gained by the other (transferred to the other). Energy is NOT necessarily conserved (kinetic energy, to be more precise - any energy lost will be converted into heat, usually), so momentum is sometimes more useful for certain calculations.
What else can I help you with?
Is angular momentum conserved in the system?
Yes, angular momentum is conserved in the system.
When is momentum conserved in a collision?
Momentum is conserved in a collision when there are no external forces acting on the system.
Is momentum conserved during an elastic collision?
Yes, momentum is conserved during an elastic collision.
Is the angular momentum about the center of the planet conserved?
Yes, the angular momentum about the center of the planet is conserved.
When there is no external force acting on a body , which physical quantity is conserved?
Angular Momentum. The conserved quantity we are investigating is called angular momentum. The symbol for angular momentum is the letter L. Just as linear momentum is conserved when there is no net external forces, angular momentum is constant or conserved when the net torque is zero.
What does it mean to say momentum is conserved?
What does it mean to say momentum is conserved?
What Does it Men To Momentum is Conserved?
When momentum is conserved, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.
Is angular momentum conserved in the system?
Yes, angular momentum is conserved in the system.
What conditions must be satisfied for momentum to be conserved in a system?
For momentum to be conserved in a system it must
When is momentum conserved in a collision?
Momentum is conserved in a collision when there are no external forces acting on the system.
When the momentum within a system is the same before and after an event you say that what?
You say that momentum is conserved. This is always the case, if the system has no interaction with anything outside the system.
Is momentum conserved during an elastic collision?
Yes, momentum is conserved during an elastic collision.
Is the angular momentum about the center of the planet conserved?
Yes, the angular momentum about the center of the planet is conserved.
Why is the momentum of a roller skater is not conserved?
The situation is not quite clear. Total momentum is always conserved, but momentum can be transferred from one object to another.
When there is no external force acting on a body , which physical quantity is conserved?
Angular Momentum. The conserved quantity we are investigating is called angular momentum. The symbol for angular momentum is the letter L. Just as linear momentum is conserved when there is no net external forces, angular momentum is constant or conserved when the net torque is zero.
Is momentum conserved in an elastic collision?
Yes, momentum is conserved in an elastic collision, meaning the total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
When is linear momentum conserved?
Linear momentum is conserved in a closed system when there are no external forces acting on it. This means that the total linear momentum of the system before an event is equal to the total linear momentum after the event.
