  1. When a bullet is fired from a gun, the recoil of the gun can be explained on the basis of the law of conservation of linear momentum.
  2. When a heavy nucleus at rest disintegrates into two smaller nuclei, the products move in opposite directions, obeying the law of conservation of linear momentum.
  3. The motion of rockets is obeyed by the law of conservation of linear momentum.
