11. Lesson 2:
Conservation of Momentum
The Law of Conservation of
Momentum states that the
total momentum of objects
that collide is the same before
and after the collision.
14. Lesson 2:
Conservation of Momentum
The total momentum of an
isolated system of objects is
conserved regardless of the
nature of the forces between
the objects.
15. Lesson 2:
Conservation of Momentum
ISOLATED SYSTEM
- is a system that has no
external forces exerted on it
16. Lesson 2:
Conservation of Momentum
ELASTIC COLLISION
- when colliding objects
separate after the collision
17.
18. Lesson 2:
Conservation of Momentum
INELASTIC COLLISION
- when two objects stick
together after the collision
