Introduction
The conservation of momentum is one of the greatest concepts in physics. An analysis of momentum can be done by performing an experiment involving collision of bodies. Collisions can be elastic or inelastic; but in all cases, they obey the law of the conservation of momentum. The law of the conservation of momentum states tha for a system of moving bodies that are not acted upon by an external force, the total momentum remains constant (Cameron and Craig, 2011). Momentum (P) is a product of mass (m) and velocity (v); P = mv (Avison, 1989). Given that momentum is conserved, Continue reading...
