Physics Conservation of Momentum

Physics Conservation of Momentum. A rocket works on conservation of momentum. The high mass rocket is propelled upward by the low mass, high velocity gas. Similar concepts include the recoil of a gun, and the movement of a boat when you throw something from it. ROCKETS!.

  3. A 10,000 kg railroad car, A, traveling at a speed of 24.0 m/s strikes an identical car, B, at rest. It the cars lock together as a result of the collision, what is their common speed just afterward? Railroad Cars Hitching

  4. Calculate the recoil velocity of a 5.0 kg rifle that shoots a 0.020 kg bullet at a speed of 620 m/s. Firing a gun
