The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.
p= mv
Where,
m = mass
v = Velocity
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have that,
Therefore the momentum is
Answer: The Electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two charges shows that the Newton's third law applies to electrostatic forces.
Explanation: Consider two Oppositely charged charges separated by distance d.
The electrostatic force exerted by charge 1 on charge 2 is.
By Coulomb's Law :
F1 = k .....................................(1)
The electrostatic force exerted by charge 2 on charge 1 is.
F2 = - k ................................. (2)
negative sign shows that force are in opposite direction.
From Equation 1 and 2
F1 = - F2
Which implies Newton Third law.
