Do you mean it's not always conserved? Could you please give an example? Thanks guys for the intuition on those concepts, so from what you said Dale, Momentum is a quantity that defines 2 important aspects of Motion together for analysis, and thanks Chester-miller that one line on impulse is...

So then, $$ \rm {F = F_s} $$ $$ F_s = (m + 2m)a = 3ma \\ F_h = 2ma \implies F_h = 2 \frac{F}{3}$$ Is that the way then? I respect that. However would you clear one doubt for me? Why do we consider the whole system and not consider $$ \rm{Body G}$$ individually? My idea was that $$ F $$...

Homework Statement Two cardboard boxes full of books are in contact with each other on a friction less table.Box H has twice the mass of Box G. If you push on box G with a horizontal force F, then box H will experience a net force of? 2. The attempt at a solution Let book G's mass be = m...

Hey, Just started studying this chapter and everything is just floating around my head. I am self studying Newton's Laws of motion and I'm having trouble imagining and getting used to it. Like i can't get a feel of force or momentum. I hope you get what I mean even though it sounds wired...
