State law of conservation of momentum PROVE - '' When two objects collide the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision''
Sri K.
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total initial momentum of all objects interacting with one another usually equals the total final momentum. The total momentum of all objects interacting with one another remains constant regardless of the nature of the forces between the objects.
