Question

Explain law of conservation of momentum with examples

Answer 1

The law of conservation of momentum says that momentum only moves from one place to another, since it's neither created nor destroyed.

The equation for momentum is:

p = mv

p is the momentum of an object

m is the mass of that object

v is the velocity of the object
