Suppose a ball of mass m is thrown verti...

Suppose a ball of mass `m` is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed `v`, its speed decreases continuously till it becomes zero. Thereafter, the ball beigns to fall downward and attains the speed `v` again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of initial and final momentums of the ball are same. Yet, it is not an example of conservation of momentum. Explain why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Momentum of a system remains conserved if no external force acts on the system In the given example, there is gravitional foce acting on the ball which is an external force, so, it is not an example of conservation of momentum,
