As discussed in a previous part of Lesson 2, total system momentum is conserved for collisions…

If a system is not isolated, then the total system momentum is not conserved. To…

A system is a collection of two or more objects. An isolated system is a…

The previous part of Lesson 2 focused on the Law of Conservation of Momentum. It was stated that…

Consider a collision between two objects - object 1 and object 2. For such a…

One of the most powerful laws in physics is the law of momentum conservation. The law of…
