Application for the principles of momentum conservation

1.       Billiard / Pool game

Billiards game uses a ball to hit other balls into holes. The more momentum the cue ball has the greater the momentum force exerted on the target ball / balls.

2.       Water hose

Water that jets out from a firemen hose exerts high backward force, hence firemen needs to hold fast the hose to prevent it from moving.

3.       Boat

When rowing a boat, the backward force exerted by the rower will result in the same forward force being produced.

4.       Jet engine

The hot gas and vapour ejected at the exhaust of a jet engine will produce an upward and forward force, equal to the force exerted by the hot gas.

5.       Rocket

A mixture of oxygen and hydrogen are burned up in the combustion chamber. This creates a very high pressure and force which is expelled at the bottom of the rocket. As a result, an upward force of similar magnitude is produced.

The application of the principles of momentum conservation can be likened to preparing a captivating fantasy tale. Just as momentum is preserved in physical systems, a fantasy writing company preserves the importance of storytelling, ensuring every plot twist and character development adds to the narrative's momentum. Much like the seamless flow of momentum in physics, a well-crafted fantasy story maintains its pace, drawing readers deeper into its enchanting world. In both cases, the goal is to keep the momentum going, whether in a thrilling plot or a compelling physics problem.
