Question

How does Newton's third law relate to conservation of momentum? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi mate.

Newton's third law of motion is naturally applied to collisions between two objects. In a collision between two objects , both objects experience forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Such forces often cause one object to gain momentum and other object to lose momentum.

Hope you find this useful.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since forces always come in equal and opposite pairs (Third Law), the sum of forces in an isolated system must always be zero. Hence, by the Second Law, there is no net change in velocity (Second Law). ... Force dictates the rate if change of momentum, so opposite forces implies momentum conservation.
