Applications of Law of Conservation of Momentum
If a balloon is blown up and released it flies round the room. During the flight, air escapes from the balloon in one direction while it moves in the opposite direction. This is due to the law of conservation of momentum of the system of the air and the balloon.
The recoil of a gun when a bullet is fired from it is due to the conservation of the momentum of the system, consisting of the gun and the bullet.
