INTERNAL FORCES AND  MOMENTUM CONSERVATION,TORQUE DUE TO INTERNAL FORCES LECTURE NOTES

Here is a p5.js Simulation I've made to illustrate the point that internal forces can not change the linear or angular momentum of a body. Here a fire cracker is thrown up in the air where it explodes. The center of mass of the whole system of the cracker is shown by a blinking point in its trajectory. You can see that the trajectory of the CoM is unaffected by the explosion!. Also, please note that I have applied equal and opposite forces between random parts of the fire cracker to make it explode as shown in the code snippet below :


Also note how I have directly implemented the CoM formula in Coding :
