Linear momentum is mass times velocity. For a single point object, momentum is conserved, because the object will continue to move at a constant velocity. Nor will its mass change either. For a group of objects, too: When momentum is transferred, for example during a collision, any momentum lost by one object is gained by another. The total momentum remains constant.

Conservation of linear momentum and energy?
energy transfer through transferring momentum. karim khan
Conservation of linear momentum explain?
The conclusion for a lab about the conservation of linear momentum is exactly that. Linear momentum is conserved. Momentum p = m*v is a product of mass and velocity. The larger the mass or faster the velocity, the higher the momentum. It takes prolonged force to stop it. Also, if a closed system exists that is not affected by dissipative forces, the total momentum of the system will remain. In a collision between two objects, momentum is conserved.
What states that the total momentum of objects that interact do not change?
You have more or less described a law of physics known as conservation of momentum, which is not the same thing as the law of universal gravitation. The law of universal gravitation describes the way mass attracts other mass, and the law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is neither created nor destroyed. These two laws are not connected.
What is mean by consevation of momentum?
Conservation of momentum means the sum of Momentum is constant. Conservation of Momentum is the result of Conservation of Energy.
What is the Condition for the Conservation of Linear Momentum of a system?
A closed system
Jet engine works on either on conservation of linear momentum or angular momentum?
it works on the basis of conservation of linear momentum
Conservation of linear momentum and energy?

What is and example of conservation of momentum?
In an isolated system the total momentum of a system remains conserved. For example If you fire a bullet from Gun , bullet go forward with some linear momentum and in order to conserve the linear momentum the gun recoils
The law of what of momentum states that momentum is never created or destroyed?
I don't think it's the law of momentum that's states that. It's the law of conservation that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change from one form to another. The law of the conservation of linear momentum states that when the vector sum of the external foreces is equal to zero, the linear momentum of that system remains constant.
Define the conservation of momentum?
the principle that the total linear momentum in a closed system is constant and is not affected by processes occurring inside the system.

If Conjugate momentum is conserved for cyclic coordinate?
Conservation of linear Momentum is independent of the coordinate system. It does not matter what coordinates are used. In a closed system, i.e. no external forces, momentum is conserved
What is the Condition for the Conservation of Linear Momentum of a system?
A closed system
When does conservation of momentum occur?
Always. There are no expections to the conservation of momentum.
What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?
The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.
