Conservation of momentum Definition and 752 Threads

Hi guys! I have solved some physics problems and was wondering if anyone would check over my work to reassure me of my answers? That would be great! 1) A pilot having a mass of 75 kg flies a plane in a vertical loop. At the top of the loop, where the plane is completely upside down, the...

In the rather basic physics class I'm in we just coverd conservation of momentum. We went over the application of this with elastic collisions. I understand that Total momentum before the collision = Total momentum afterwards. What I don't uderstand is how can you tell what the individual...
