Question

When a ball is thrown up, the magnitude of its momentum decreases and then increases. Does this violate the conservation of momentum principle?

Solution

No, here conservation of momentum is not violated since there is external gravitational force, we should not apply conservation of momentum.

Q. Suppose a ball of mass m is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed v. Its speed decreases continuously till it becomes zero. Thereafter, the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed v again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of initial and final momentums of the ball are same. Is this an example of conservation of momentum?
