momentum is the quantity of motion possessed by a body.it is numerically calculated by the product of mass of the body and velocity of the body.

What is mean by consevation of momentum?

The conservation of momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum before an interaction is equal to the total momentum after the interaction, as long as no external forces are present. This principle is based on the law of inertia and is a fundamental concept in physics.


What does conversation of momentum mean?

Conservation of momentum is a fundamental principle in physics that states the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant if no external forces act on it. This means that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event must equal the total momentum after the event. It is commonly used to analyze collisions and explosions.


What does change in momentum mean?

It means that the momentum increases, decreases, or simply changes its direction. The latter is because momentum is a vector quantity (that is, the direction is relevant). Momentum is defined as the product of velocity and mass.


Formula for momentum?

Total change in momentum = zero (law of conservation of momentum). Also, a change in momentum is equal to the impulse, which is force x time . A formula is: d/dt (Mv) = F, which is one of Newton's laws of motion.


Is momentum lost equals to momentum gained?

If you return to the same state of motion before you began gaining momentum, then momentum lost will be equal to momentum gained. I mean really, if you start out not moving with a momentum of 0 and end not moving with a momentum of 0, then of course there the bloody same. If you start at 0 and never stop moving, then obviously your not losing momentum so the statement is false.

How do you find the momentum with no velocity?

It is unclear what you mean. If you mean that you want to find momentum but do not have a value for velocity then it depends on what physical system you are using. If you want to find the momentum of an object with a velocity equal to zero then the momentum is zero. Answer2. You can find the momentum from its the integral of its force impulse fdt = d(mv). The momentum is mv= integral of fdt.


What does the law of the conservation of momentum mean?

It means that there is a quantity called momentum; the total quantity of which doesn't change.

What does momentum mean in science?

Momentum of a body is got by the product of its mass and velocity. If the concerned body is at rest then momentum is ZERO. If m is the mass and v is the velocity then mv is the momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity. Its unit is kg m/s


What is the total momentous before and after collision?

I assume you mean the total MOMENTUM. The momentum depends on the situation. The only thing you can be sure of is that the total momentum after the collision will be the same as the total momentum before the collision. You can often use this to solve problems about collisions.
