Momentum is the quantity that is conserved in this case.
Conservation of Momentum is a consequence of Conservation of Energy, which equates to the sum of forces equals zero.
0 = f1 + f2 = dp1/dt + dp2/dt = d(p1 +p2)/dt = d(constant)/dt =0.

How does the law of conservation of mass relate to newtons 3rd law?
It isn't closely related. Newton's Third Law is more closely related to conservation of MOMENTUM.
Does the law of universal gravitation state that the total momentum of objects that interact does not change?
No. The "total momentum" is related to Newton's Third Law. No, that is the law of conservation of momentum.
Year the law of conservation was discovered?
There are many laws of conservation. Some of the better-known ones are the law of conservation of energy, of momentum, and of rotational momentum.There are many laws of conservation.

What is a sentence using the law of conservation of momentum?
Conservation of momentum is an absolute symmetry of nature
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.
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.
Law of the conservation of angular momentum applies which body?
Law of conservation of momentum applies to any body on which no external torque is acting.
Is it true that the law of conservation of energy stated that momentum is conserved in a collision?
Is it true that the law of conservation of engery states that momentum is in a collision
What is the relationship between momentum and law of conservation of momentum?
Well... the law of conservation of momentum states that "In a system consisting of bodies on which no outside forces are acting; the total momentum of the system remains the same."
Conservation is a LAW therefore true but I want to know why it happens what is the theory that explains it?
You mention conservation in general; there are several conservation laws, like conservation of energy, of linear momentum, of rotational momentum, of electrical charge, and others. This is originally based on experience - for example, no cases are known where the linear momentum is violated. However, these conservation laws (or many of them?) can be explained with Noether's Theorem. This is some very advanced math (for me, at least), but basically, it states that for every symmetry in nature, there is a corresponding conservation law. For example, the fact that the laws of physics are the same today as a year ago (they don't change over time) is related to the Law of Conservation of Energy; the Law of Conservation of Momentum is related to a symmetry with respect to position (the laws of nature are the same here as on the Moon), and the Law of Conservation of Rotational Momentum is related to a symmetry with respect to rotation (if you rotate an experimental apparatus, the results won't change).
Is it true that the law of conservation of energy states that momentum is conserved in a collision?
Is it true that the law of conservation of engery states that momentum is in a collision
What is the most significant similarity between conservation of energy and conservation of momentum?
in law of conservation of energy ENERGY IS CONSERVED and in law of conservation of momentum MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED. There's not similarity in these two laws. expect that in both laws , one quantity is conserved.
