Conservation of Linear Momentum and Collisions in AP Physics C: Mechanics
Definition
The conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of a system remains constant if no external forces act on it. In collisions, momentum is transferred between objects but the total momentum before and after the collision is always the same.
This definition is part of Fiveable's AP Physics C: Mechanics review, which also has guided practice questions.
