If a moving car crashes into the back of a stopped car, the stopped car moves. The moving car slows down or stops.
How does this illustrate the law of conservation of momentum?

Elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The total system kinetic energy before the collision equals the total system kinetic energy after the collision. In the collision between the truck and the car, total system momentum is conserved.

Answer:
Collisions between objects are governed by laws of momentum and energy. When a collision occurs in an isolated system, the total momentum of the system of objects is conserved. In the collision between the truck and the car, total system momentum is conserved
