momentum
The law of conservation of momentum states that the energy lost initially by the first object is equal to that gained by the last object in an isolated system. This is the principle behind perpetual motion. The only difficulty is that it is difficult to find a truly isolated system.Ê
If the two bodies form a closed and isolated system (that is no other external forces act on the system apart from the forces that the bodies exert on each other and no mass is allowed to enter or leave the system), the principle of conservation of momentum SHOULD be used. Remember: As long as the condition in the brackets above hold, the principle of conservation of momentum holds. Next, depending on the nature of the collision, another conservation law can be used. If the collision is perfectly elastic, then kinetic energy is conserved. Note that although kinetic energy is not always conserved, TOTAL energy is ALWAYS conserved. You could still apply the principle of conservation of energy for an inelastic collision provided you knew the amount of energy converted to other forms of energy.
Conservation of Momentum:The total momentum in a closed or isolated system remains constant. If the two trains are moving as one after the collision, and were the same mass M each, the total momentum before and after the collision would be the same, ccording to the law. Before the collision, the momentum (velocity times mass) was 10 x M units (one train) which must now be the same but applied to two trains (2M) moving as one body. The Conservation of Momentum rule, will tell you that the new moving body, being twice the mass, would be moving half the velocity to conserve the momentum from before the collision.
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of an isolated system is constant.

Total energy of an isolated object is always same.
states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves
The law of conservation of mass states that in an isolated system, energy is neither created nor destroyed. It was first described by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789 and was later amended by Einstein in the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy.
[the law of conservation of energy]Wrong: The law of conservation of energy says that energycannot be created or destroyed. Do not change an answer unless you know the answer.The correct answer is the Law of Conservation of Charge, which states that the net charge of an isolated system remains constant.
Total momentum in an isolated system does not change. The law of physics. The law of conservation of momentum explains that momentum is neither lost of gained. That means that there is a quantity, called momentum, that is conserved.
The law of conservation of mass, also known as the principle of mass/matter conservation, states that the mass of an isolated system (closed to all transfers of matter and energy) will remain constant over time. The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space and changed into different types of particles; and that for any chemical process in an isolated system, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of an isolated system is constant.
