Conservation of Momentum

Is itcorrect ...

Question

Is itcorrect to say that law of conservation of momentum is valid for elastic collition only? explain

Open in App

Solution

Dear student

law of conservation of momentum is valid for all type of collision weather it is elastic or inelastic .
as momentum of a system changes when only external forces acts on it . so either collision is elastic or in elastic external forces acted upon system is zero always so momentum is also conserved .
