Newton's Third Law. Newton's Laws are the Conservation of Energy. Conservation of Energy indicates the sum of the forces is zero.
This condition force is zero; 0 = F= dP/dt =0 means P, Momentum is constant or conservation of Momentum..

When 2 objects collide their momentum after the collision is explained by?
Newton's Laws of motion. Specifically, his Second (F = ma, or more generally, F = dp/dt) and Third (F1 = -F2) Laws.
How does conservation of momentum apply to collisions?
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.
What is the Momentum law that states that the total momentum of an object is constant if no outside force acts on it?
Law of inertia? Newtons first law.
What happen to a vehicle's momentum when it crashes into a wall?
Momentum is transferred to the wall... And through it, to planet Earth.
What does a newtons cradle measure?
It doesn't actually measure anything. It does, however, demonstrate conservation of momentum.

Why are bumper cars an example of Newtons first law?
It points to the law of linear conservation of momentum, the total momentum after collision is the same as before the collision, say each car including driver has a mass of 200 kg, car A is moving at 5 metres / second, car B is stationary. Momentum of the moving car makes up all the momentum prior to collision and is = mass * velocity = 200 * 5 = 1000 kg.m/s, assuming an elastic(or perfect) collision, in which no energy is lost as heat or noise, the momentum after the collision will still be 1000 kg.m/s, but the mass will have increased to 400 kg (total of both cars), so the equation after collision: 1000 = 400 * velocity, velocity = 1000 / 400 = 2.5 metres / second
What is another name for newtons law of motion?
Momentum.
How is the collision of a cue ball and a billiard ball an example of newton's third law and the consevation of momentum?
That simply means that the total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision.
One railroad car rolls toward another Describe the properties of the first car that determine its momentum and how it would impart an impulse to the second car?
(newtons first law) conservation of momentum law states : momentum before collision = momentum after collision momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg 10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s 10 000/3 000 = velocity 3.33 m/s = velocity after collision an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied
What units do you measure force in?
Force is measured as the rate that the momentum of an object changes based on the mass of the object whose momentum is being changed. The unit used is Newtons, and is given as a single kilogram increasing in momentum by 1 meter per second per second.
What is the momentum law the states that the total momentum of an object is constant if no outside force acts on it?
Law of inertia? Newtons first law.
What was another major achievement for newtons third law?
The Conservation of Momentum is a consequence of Newton's 3rd law.Conservation of Momentum is not an independent law.
What is the Momentum law that states that the total momentum of an object is constant if no outside force acts on it?
Law of inertia? Newtons first law.
