[QUESTION ❓]
Conservation of momentum.
[ANSWER]
What is a law of conservation of momentum?
- Law of conservation of momentum states that. For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.
Equation of conservation of momentum
- In equation form, the conservation of momentum principle for an isolated system is written ptot = constant, or ptot = p′tot, where ptot is the total momentum (the sum of the momenta of the individual objects in the system) and p′tot is the total momentum some time later.
