law of conservation of momentum
This statement is consistent with the principle of conservation of momentum. In the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains constant. This means that the sum of the momenta of all objects in the system before a collision or interaction will be equal to the sum of the momenta after, provided no external forces are involved.
c. The law of conservation of momentum applies in the absence of outside forces. This means that if the net external force acting on a system is zero, the total momentum of the system remains constant.
The total momentum of a group of objects is conserved unless an external force acts on the system.
The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless an outside force is applied. This is known as the principle of conservation of momentum in physics. This principle is commonly observed in situations where no external forces are acting on a system.

b. outside forces act on the objects.
If there are no outside forces acting on a system of particles the total momentum of the system will remain constant; i.e. the center of mass of the system will remain at rest or move at constant velocity.
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that, if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.Assume a closed system in classical mechanics or an isolated system in thermodynamics. This is a system which does not exchange any matter outside and is not acted upon by any outside forces. In these theoretical conditions a mass m1 traveling at velocity u1 hits a mass m2 traveling at velocity u2 their velocities change to v1 and v2:m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2So, simply put: In the absence of outside forces, the total momentum of two colliding objects does not change as a result of the collision of the objects. However, there are no perfect inelastic collisions. There are energy losses, mainly due to the generation of heat in the colliding bodies and the release of sound energy into the surroundings. This is the reason that a Newton's cradle eventually stops.
"In classical mechanics, momentum (pl. momenta; SI unit kg m/s, or, equivalently, ·n s) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object (p = mv). In Special_relativity, this quantity is multiplied by the Lorentz factor. Momentum is sometimes referred to as linear momentum to distinguish it from the related subject of angular moentum. Linear momentum is a vector quantity, since it has a direction as well as a magnitude. Angular momentum is a vector quantity because it gains an additional sign flip under an improper rotation. The tpseudovector momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects (law of conservation of momentum)."Rollercoasters use momentum to keep it rolling while gravity accelerates it.Sources:Wikipedia for the quote(BTW I'm 11)
Momentum, specifically linear momentum, defined as:p = mvwhere p=momentum, m=mass and v=velocityis a vector quantity that describes an objects motion in a given frame.Inertia, or the Principle of Inertia, is an object's resistance to a change in velocity. It is pretty much summed up by Newton's First Law of motion, an object at rest/ in motion will continue at rest/ in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.Momentum and Inertia are related conceptually in the way that any object with mass has momentum, if its velocity is zero than its momentum is zero, and inertia is that objects resistance to a change in its velocity.
An outside force causes an object to have more momentum. For example, if you push a ball, the ball would have more momentum and would therefore move. You pushing the ball would be the outside force.
Law of inertia? Newtons first law.
You say that momentum is conserved. This is always the case, if the system has no interaction with anything outside the system.
