What would the conservation of momentum equation for the following scenario be: A woman runs and jumps into a canoe at rest. They both move off in the water together.
P1B = P1+2A
What would the conservation of momentum equation for the following scenario be: A car and semi are moving in opposite directions. The car runs into the semi and sticks. They both continue moving in the direction the semi was traveling.
P1B + P2B = P1+2A
What would the conservation of momentum equation for the following scenario be: A child is swinging forward on a swing. Her parent gives her a good push in the same direction.
P1B + I = P1A
