Principle of Conservation of Momentum

 Principle of Conservation of Momentum



One of the most powerful laws in physics is the law of momentum conservation. The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows.

For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. That is, the momentum lost by object 1 is equal to the momentum gained by object 2.

ELASTIC COLLISION

 

So the formula for Elastic Collision is:

 

 



 



INELASTIC COLLISION

 

 

 

 

The formula for Inelastic Collision is:
