29) Conservation of Linear Momentum
Consider an isolated system of n interacting particles. The mutual forces between pairs of particles in
the system cause changes in momenta of the individual particles. By third law, the mutual forces
between any pair of particles are equal and opposite. By second law, the change in momenta for any
pair of particles are FAt and -FAt. Thus the momentum changes cancel in pairs and total momentum of
the system remains constant. The leads to a fundamental principle of physics called the law of
conservation of linear momentum. This law states that the total linear momentum of an isolated system
of interacting particles is conserved. The recoil of a gun on firing, explosion of a bomb into different
fragments due to internal forces, the working of rockets and jet planes, etc. ; can be explained on basis
of momentum conservation.

3. A body of mass 0.25 kg is projected with muzzle velocity 100 m/s from a tank of mass 100 kg. What

(a) 5 m/s (b) 25 m/s (c) 0.5 m/s (d) 0.25 m/s
4. A bullet is fired from a rifle. If the rifle recoils freely, then the kinetic energy of the rifle is
(a) less than that of the bullet (b) more than that of the bullet
(c) same as that of the bullet (d) equal to or less than that of the bullet.
30) Uniform Circular Motion
When a body moves along a circular path with a uniform speed, its motion is said to be uniform circular
motion. In uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector which acts along the tangent to the
path changes continuously but its magnitude (v = r ) always remains constant. So uniform circular motion
is an accelerated motion. A body undergoing uniform circular motion is acted upon by an acceleration
which is directed along the radius towards the centre of the circular path. This acceleration is called
centripetal acceleration. The magnitude of the acceleration is a constant given by
ac =
But the direction of ac changes continuously, always pointing towards the centre. So centripetal
acceleration is not a constant vector. The resultant acceleration of a body in circular motion is towards the
centre only if its speed is constant.

vector
(a) along the same direction (b) in opposite direction
