It is a flag in the work plan to signify some other work has completed.Usually a milestone is used as a project checkpoint to validate how the project is progressing and revalidate work. Milestones are also used as high-level snapshots for management to validate the progress of the project. In many cases there is a decision to be made at a milestone.Deliverable is a term used in project management to describe a tangible or intangible object produced as a result of the project that is intended to be delivered to a customer (either internal or external). A deliverable could be a report, a document, a server upgrade or any other building block of an overall project.

Drop a stone from the top of a high cliff identify the system wherein the net momentum is zero as t?

The system wherein the net momentum is zero at all times during the stone's fall is the stone itself. Momentum is a vector quantity, and the stone experiences an equal and opposite change in momentum at each instant due to the gravitational force. The external forces acting on the stone can be neglected in this case.
