Momentum is always conserved. But if you want to verify, calculate the vector sum p = mv of both objects before the collision, and then calculate the vector sum p = mv of both objects after the collision. Your two vectors should be exactly equal.

∙ 12y agoConservation of linear momentum during collisions can be proved using Newtons third law of motion. For reffference see 8th class text book of AP STATE SYLLABUS In case of no clarrification you can mail me at srinivaskokkera@gmail.com

∙ 13y agoMomentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. Momentum is never created or destroyed. It transfers from one body to other. When a collision occurs , the momentum of first body is transmitted to the second body. The momentum of first body lost in the collision is gained by the other body and it is equal to the lost momentum of the first body. The total momentum remains the same.

Where do you apply conservation of momentum?
Conservation of moment could be applied to any system if no external force acts on it.
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 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.
What is the difference between law of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum?
conservation of momentum depend upon mass and velocity.by the formula its given as m'.v'=m.v but the energy have void area it apply in themodynamics,revolution of planet in every physical universe..where is velocity is not taken in count there no momentum but there have some specific energy of body
What principles of physics apply to light?
* Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism * conservation of momentum * laws of reflection / refraction * diffraction
1 In a collision that is inelastic the total what after the collision is not the same as before the collision?
Hi, in line with Newton's laws of motion the momentum before and after a collision is always conserved (when no external force is applied to change the systems momentum). In elastic collisions we can apply the conservation of momentum and conservation of energy principles. In inelastic collisions we can only apply the conservation of momentum principle. Energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions because energy is lost through small deformations, noise, friction, etc. We can compute the coefficient of restitution that helps determine this degree of energy loss from impulse-momentum equations.
How can before and after situations be compared for collisions using the law of conservation of momentum?
The momentum before and after is the same, due to the Law of Conservation of momentum. Thus if you calculate the momentum before, then you have the after momentum or vice-versa.
Where do you apply conservation of momentum?
Conservation of moment could be applied to any system if no external force acts on it.
How does the law of conservation apply to a game of pool?
There are several laws of conservation; please clarify which one you mean. For example, there is the law of conservation of mass, of energy, of momentum, of rotational momentum, of electrical charge, and others.

When does conservation of momentum occur?
Always. There are no expections to the conservation of momentum.

What is a sentence using the law of conservation of momentum?
Conservation of momentum is an absolute symmetry of nature
Jet engine works on either on conservation of linear momentum or angular momentum?
