Question

The law of conservation of momentum states that, if left alone, the total momentum of two interacting objects that make up a system.

Answer
Remains the Same

Answer 1

Hi Mandy!

Question - The law of conservation of momentum states that, if left alone, the total momentum of two interacting objects that make up a system.

Answer - Remains the Same

Why - When the momentum of 2 alone objects the total momentuum remains the exact same as the start.

Hope This helps :)

Answer 2

Remains constant

Step-by-step explanation:

For a closed system on which there is no net external force, the total momentum of the interacting bodies remains constant.

This means in the absence of net applied force, the initial momentum of the interacting bodies is equal to the final momentum of the interacting bodies.

It follows from Newton's second law of motion.

`F =(dp)/(dt)\\ \text{if } F=0\\ \Rightarrow =(dp)/(dt) =0 \\ \Rightarrow p =constant`
