In context: "An object that has no conducting path to earth is referred to as an isolated object"

A system in which the only forces that contribute to the momentum change of an individual object are the forces acting between the objects themselves can be considered an isolated system. ... For such a collision, total system momentum is conserved.

Sorry, I didn't ask for what it meant - I asked for examples :)

This simply means any object whether conducting or non-conducting if kept isolated i.e.,not in contact with Earth so that its charge cannot get transferred to it is called isolated object.
Yes
How are you
hey
how's you
Thank you, what kind of object examples would it be? I get a little confused, for example a roof may be considered not connecting to the Earth, but the walls are attached to it - does that mean the charge can flow through it and to the earth? Because if not, I don't know what kind of isolated object floats in the air without any support.
No ,roof can't be an example.This could be possible only in laboratory conditions.
So what kind of objects would be isolated?
Any object as I said which is kept isolated using insulating boundries.F or example,a sphere having some charge but hung from the roof using insulating threads.
Thanks so much!
Good to see your curiosity.
