Push Off

Skaters push off, a man walks on a boat, a shell bursts. Find where everything goes.

Physics · Class 11 · Momentum when bodies push apart · 6 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Push apart: No outside push: the total momentum stays zero
  2. Pull together: No outside force: the centre of mass stays put
  3. Walk the boat: Walking on a boat: the centre of mass stays put
  4. Three pieces: A burst from rest: the momenta add to zero
  5. Split in flight: A split in flight: the momentum stays M u
  6. Burst at the top: After a burst, the centre of mass keeps its path
