derive the law of conservation of momentum

Explanation:
Here's ur ans
I hope it will help u
and = let a bo
let a A body of mass M1 moving with the velocity u1 and another body B of mass M2 moving with velocity u2
then their momentum are m1u1 and m2u2 respectively.
let u1 greater than u2 then the two bodies collide with each other
let after collision their velocities become v1 and v2 respectively
then their momentum after collision become m1v1 and m2v2 respectively
so rate of change of momentum of the body A
= m1v1-m1u1/t
and that of body B is m2v2-m2u2/t
according to Newton second law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force
so, F1 = m1v1-m1u1/t
and F2 = m2v2-m2u2/t
now according to the third law of motion F1 = F2
thus m1v1-m1u1/t = m2v2-m2u2/t
cancelled t from both sides we get
m1v1-m1u1= m2v2-m2u2
= m1v1+m2v2= m1u1+m2u2
proved
