Momentum and Energy Conservation

Conservation laws are an important part of the way the physicist views nature. Two of the most important are the laws of conservation of momentum and of conservation of energy. The former follows directly from Newton's laws of motion, while the latter is much deeper

Momentum is defined as the product of the mass of an object and its velocity

Momentum conservation is a fundamental principle in physics that states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act upon it.
