Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
Let,
m
A
​
= Mass of ball A
m
B
​
= Mass of ball B
u
A
​
= initial velocity of ball A
u
B
​
= initial velocity of ball B
v
A
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball A
v
B
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball B
F
ab
​
= Force exerted by A on B
F
ba
​
= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in the momentum of A= momentum of A after the collision - the momentum of A before the collision
= m
A
​
v

​

​

Rate of change of momentum A= Change in momentum of A/ time taken
=

Force exerted by B on A (F

);
F

​
=

​
........ [i]
In the same way,
Rate of change of momentum of B=
t
m
b
​
v
B
​
−m
B
​
u
B
​

​

Force exerted by A on B (F
ab
​
)=
F
ab
​
=
t
m
B
​
v
B
​
−m
B
​
u
B
​

​
.......... [ii]
Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then,
F
a
​
b=−F
b
​
a [ ' -- ' sign is used to indicate that 1 object is moving in opposite direction after collision]

Using [i] and [ii] , we have
t

​
v

​
−m

​

​

​

​

Finally we get,

​

​

​

​
=m

​

​
+m

This is the derivation of conservation of linear momentum.

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>

Whats the difference between speed and velocity of an object
ss7ja [257]
The difference between speed and velocity is that the speed is a scalar quantity which means that you can say that this object has a speed of x m/s but you don't have to define its direction
while the velocity is a vector quantity which means that you have to express the velocity by which it moves in x,y and z directions and its norm is the speed

If a transformer has a primary with 100 V and fifty coils, and a secondary that yields 20 V, how many coils are on the secondary
melomori [17]
Ideally, if all the magnetic of one winding cuts the other winding, and there isn't any loss in the transformer core or the resistance of the wire, then the voltage across each winding is proportional to the number of turns in its coil.

If you apply 100 V to a winding of 50 turns, then a winding that yields 20 volts
must be wound with

(20/100) of 50 turns = 10 turns
