Boardworks Ltd 2015 Conservation of linear momentum The principle of conservation of linear momentum states: The total linear momentum of a system of interacting bodies is constant, providing no external forces act. This applies to collisions, where objects move together and hit one other, and to explosions, where objects fly apart from one another after initially being at rest. collision explosion Collisions Explosions Calculations: conservation of momentum Elastic and inelastic collisions Momentum and energy When one ball is swung on Newton’s cradle, one ball moves out at the other end. If two balls are swung, two balls move out. Total energy is also conserved in each collision because energy cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, why do the balls eventually come to rest? Because kinetic energy is not always conserved, but is converted to other forms, in this case sound and heat. The collisions are therefore inelastic. Two balls have double the mass, and double the momentum. In each collision, momentum is conserved. Fill in the missing words * ?

In the first photo, the bullet initially has velocity and momentum and the pencil is at rest. On collision, the momenta of both the bullet and pencil will change (the pencil would now have to be treated as several different objects since it is broken into pieces). The total momentum of the bullet and pencil shards after collision is equal to the momentum of the bullet before collision because momentum is conserved. In the secon
