Woh master result jo tum poore note mein apply kar rahe ho (jo parent note mein scratch se banaya gaya hai):

Yahan total momentum hai (har tracked object ka mass×velocity jodo), aur net external force hai (sirf bahar se aane wali pushes ka sum, tumhare chosen system ke liye).


Level 1 — Recognition

Goal: bas decide karo "kya conserved hai, aur kis axis par?" — abhi koi arithmetic nahi.

Recall Solution L1·Q1

System = saare 30 fragments. Explosion ki pushes fragments ke beech hain → internal → Newton's 3rd law se pairs mein cancel ho jaati hain, toh woh change nahi kar sakteen. Sirf external force gravity hai, jo seedha neeche point karti hai.

  • Horizontal axis: koi external force nahi → conserved. ✅
  • Vertical axis: gravity act karti hai → conserved nahi. ❌ Newton ka law component-wise hai, isliye tum par jeet sakte ho jab par haar rahe ho.
Recall Solution L1·Q2

System = sirf ball. External forces: gravity (neeche, Earth se jo bahar hai) aur table ka normal force (upar, table bahar hai). Yahan woh equal aur opposite hain, toh is instant par (jo zero hai, ball rest mein) zero rehta hai. Conserved hai, lekin trivially — ball bas move hi nahi kar rahi. Teaching point yeh hai: gravity aur normal yahan external hain sirf isliye kyunki Earth aur table us boundary ke bahar hain jo tumne draw ki.


Level 2 — Application

Goal: safe axis par mein plug karo aur solve karo.

Recall Solution L2·Q1

System = cannon + ball. Firing force ab internal hai. External forces (gravity, normal) vertical hain, toh horizontal conserved hai. Fire karne se pehle, sab kuch rest mein hai: . Baad mein: ball par jaati hai, cannon par recoil karta hai: Cannon par peeche roll karta hai.

Recall Solution L2·Q2

System = A + B. Rail frictionless hai, gravity/normal vertical → horizontal conserved. Saath chipke hue woh mass share karte hain speed par: Common final speed (yeh perfectly inelastic collision hai — dekho Elastic vs Inelastic Collisions).


Level 3 — Analysis

Goal: reason karo ki kaun sa relaxation (component / impulsive / average) kaam kar raha hai.

Recall Solution L3·Q1

Sahi test impulses ( force time) compare karta hai, forces nahi (parent, Impulse–Momentum Theorem). Bat impulse = ball ka momentum change: Contact ke dauran gravity impulse: Ratio , yani gravity approximately contribute karti hai. Kyunki , ko impact ke through conserved treat karo, phir flight ke liye gravity re-add karo. Impulsive approximation justified.

Recall Solution L3·Q2

System = dono disks. Ice frictionless hai, gravity/normal vertical → dono horizontal axes ( aur ) conserved hain. Toh hum alag-alag har ek par likhte hain. Disk 1 baad mein: , . x-axis: y-axis: Disk 2, par move karta hai, yani speed -axis ke neeche par. Dono disks symmetrically alag uda jaate hain — yeh equal masses ki geometry hai.


Level 4 — Synthesis

Goal: phases combine karo — impact ke dauran conservation, phir pehle/baad dynamics.

Recall Solution L4·Q1

Do phases, alag-alag valid laws ke saath. Phase 1 — embedding (impulsive): collision fast hai, toh gravity ka impulse negligible hai → momentum horizontally conserved. Phase 2 — swing up (energy): impact ke baad, koi non-conservative force swing ke along net kaam nahi karta, toh KE gravitational PE mein convert hoti hai. Back-substitute karo: Bullet speed . Dono phases ke liye ek law kyun nahi? Momentum phase 1 mein conserved hai lekin KE nahi (embedding = inelastic, heat lost). Energy phase 2 mein conserved hai lekin horizontal momentum nahi (strings inward pull karti hain). Har phase woh law use karta hai jiska condition woh satisfy karta hai.

Recall Solution L4·Q2

System = person + raft. Koi horizontal external force nahi → zero rehta hai → paani mein center of mass fixed rehta hai (yeh Center of Mass Motion hai: , aur yeh rest mein shuru hua tha). Maano raft shift karta hai (walk ke opposite direction mein). Person raft ke relative walk karta hai, toh paani ke relative person move karta hai; fixed CM enforce karo: , ke saath: raft ka displacement hai Raft person ke walk direction ke opposite slide karta hai (person paani ke upar move karta hai). CM kabhi nahi hila.


Level 5 — Mastery

Goal: boundary-choice ki subtleties, degenerate/limiting cases, sign bookkeeping.

Recall Solution L5·Q1

Up ko positive lo. (a) Ball alone: . Nonzero hai kyunki gravity aur floor ka normal ek-ball system ke liye external hain — floor ek real upward impulse deliver karta hai. Ball ka conserved nahi hai. (b) Ball + Earth: ab floor ka push internal hai (floor Earth ka part hai). Koi external horizontal/vertical force nahi → total conserved. Earth ko absorb karna hoga: Bilkul imperceptible, lekin nonzero — same event, opposite conservation verdict, purely iss baat se ki boundary kahan draw ki.

Recall Solution L5·Q2

System = dono pieces, koi external force nahi → pehle aur baad mein (explosion forces internal). (b) Limits:

  • : — ek bahut bhaari chunk barely move karta hai, jaise rifle ek light bullet ke against almost kuch nahi recoil karti. ✅
  • : — vanishingly light doosra piece arbitrarily fast fling hota hai, toh saara "kick" us tiny fragment mein jaata hai. Dono limits ko exactly respect karte hain: heavy·slow always light·fast ko balance karta hai.

Recall Saare levels ke baad ek-line self-test

Har momentum problem par poochha jaane wala single question ::: "Meri boundary kahan hai, aur kya us axis par net external force zero hai jis par mujhe dhyan dena hai?"
