If the total momentum of a system is a constant, then we say that the total momentum is conserved. A consequence of Newton’s laws of physics is that the total momentum of a system is conserved whenever the net external force on the system is zero. Describe all the external forces acting on this system and explain what the net external force is. Is it zero or approximately zero?

Question 15 The condition necessary for the conservation of linear momentum in a given system is that the net external force is zero. internal forces equal external forces. one body is at rest. energy is conserved. (none of the above) Next Question
