Question

onservation of Momentum states

Select one:

Only because it is a conservation law. However, everything else about these two concepts is different:
based on different physics (N3L instead of N2L)
vector instead of scalar
different units

Is not observed in the universe to be violated given that all objects can be observed.

That the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

When an object decreases in momentum, then some other object in the same system will increase in momentum.

Is none of these because Momentum is never conserved.

Explanation / Answer

Conservation of momentum states that:

That the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant.
