Open in App
Solution

  1. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. It is written as p=m×v Where p represents the momentum, m represents the mass, v represents the velocity.
  2. When two bodies with momentum collides, Law of conversion of linear momentum is satisfied.
  3. Law of conversion of momentum says that the total linear momentum of the system before collision is equal to the total linear momentum of the system after collision.
  4. When two objects collides, one body looses momentum and other object gains momentum
  5. The body which looses momentum slows down. and the body which gained momentum speeds up.
