That simply means that the total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision.

∙ 12y agoNewton's three laws of physics are:
-An object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by a force, an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by a force
-The greater the force, the greater the motion. The greater the mass, the greater the motion.
-Every force has an equal and opposite action.

e.g, 0= F1 + F2= dP1/dt + dP2/dt = d(P1 + P2)/dt thus P1 + P2= Konstant.
Therefore the Newton's Third Law is also the Law of Conservation of Momentum.

How will balls move if they collide and stick together?
Consevation of momentum applies. The final compond mass must have the same momentum as the net momentum of the two balls before the collision. Remember, momentum is a vector and direction is important. For example if the two balls are moving toward each other with the same momentum, the net momentum is zero because they are moving in opposite directions. So the compound ball will not move. Or, if ball 1 is moving left and has a greater momentum then ball 2 ,moving right, then the compound ball will move left. Its momentum will equal the difference between the two momentums because when you add two vectors in opposite directions you subtract their magnitudes. Mechanical energy (potential + kinetic) is not conserved in this collision because some mechanical energy is lost as heat in the collision.
What is perfectlyinelastic collision?
I'm not sure what you mean by "stronger" A perfectly inelestic collision is an ideal event in which none of the kinetic energy of the colliding bodies id tranferred into them as vibrations of their own molecules, i.e. transformed into heat. In an elastic collision, which always happens in the real world, some, or even all, of the kinetic energy of the two objects will be transformed into heat vibrating their molecules. This means that in an inelastic cillision, the bodies final velocities will add up to less than the total velocities that had before the collision, In the ideal state of an inelastic collision though, the sum of their final velocities must equal the sum of their final velocities.
What is an example of low momentum?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity (p=mv)Of course an object at rest would have no momentum no matter what the mass is (velocity = 0 so momentum = 0).Playing volleyball with a balloon might be something that would be considered low momentum. You can hit it as hard as you like, but it has so little mass that its momentum can hardly overcome the air resistance.You might push a small car at, say 1/4 MPH, and it would have relatively little momentum.However a train traveling at the same 1/4 MPH would still have a lot of momentum.
State and explain the law of conservation of momentum?
The law of conservation of momentum is Newton's 3rd law' The vectors sum to zero: 0 = F1 + F2 = dp1/dt + dp2/dt = d(p1 + p2)/dt =0. Thus, p1 + p2 = a constant, thus, the conservation of momentum.
All objects have momentum?
To find the magnitude of momentum you use the formula: p=mv So, if an object has a mass (and if it exists then it would), and if it is moving (has a velocity), then yes, it has momentum.
Billiard balls colliding is an example?
Of an elastic collision
Is an example of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision.

Formula for conservation of momentum?
For example, you can write this as:Total change in momentum = 0 In the case of a collision, you can use: M1 = M2 where M1 is the total momentum before the collision, and M2 is the total momentum after the collision.
What happens to the total momentum of two objects in a system before and after interactions?
The total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. This is known as "conservation of momentum".
A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?
Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.
What is meant by total momentum of a system give an example using a collision?
The total momentum of a system is a measure of motion of one thing equal to the product of the same mass and velocity. This can also be called linear momentum as well as total momentum.
Why is momentum M times V?
Simply because physicists discovered that it is a product that is conserved. In collisions of two objects for example, if you add up the momentum before the collision the momentum will be the same after the collision. Note that momentum is not something that has a concrete reality. A rock sitting on the ground has zero momentum relative to us here on earth but has alot of momentum relative to someone on mars. It can not have zero momentum and alot of momentum at the same time, it depends on ones frame of reference. My point is that momentum is not at 'concrete" thing. Refer to the 'Conservation of linear momentum' in Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" *Check out related links*
Give two examples showing the conservation of momentum give one example where momentum is not conserved?
Momentum like mass will always be conserved in any process. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the object. It is symbolically denoted as p=m*v where p = momentum, m = mass and v = velocity
How solve 3rd law of motion?
The details depend on what you want to solve for. Quite often, in practice you would use the Law of Conservation of Momentum - just write an equation that states that the total momentum after a collision (for example) is the same as it was before the collision. This can often help you calculate things such as velocities.
Why in a collision momentum is not always conserved?
In principle momentum is always conserved. However what sometimes happens in a collision is that energy is released that is then no longer considered part of the system. For example if two cars collide energy could be dissipated via the air and ground (e.g. heat) and this can also carry away momentum. Often, these effects are not taken into account and in that way momentum conservation appears to be violated; but if one takes care and takes into account all collision products the total momentum after is equal to the total momentum prior. So in short, any violation can be traced back to a redefinition of the system.
What is an example of elastic collision?
Marbles (glass bounces as long as it won't shatter)Curling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling)Basically, an elastic collision is one where neither of the objects loses momentum.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision
