A body explodeds in mid - air. Does its momentum remain conserved ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the momentum of a body remains conserved when it explodes in mid-air, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - Consider a body that is initially at rest or moving with a certain velocity in mid-air. This body will eventually explode into multiple fragments. 2. **Identifying Forces**: ...
