Conservation of Momentum

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event (like a collision) is equal to the total momentum after the event.

Front

What happens to momentum during a collision?

Back

Momentum is neither lost nor gained during a collision; it is conserved.
