If no resultant forces or torques act on an object, both linear and angular momentum of the object remain constant.
Helpful?           0
the principle that the total linear momentum in a closed system is constant and is not affected by processes occurring inside the system
Helpful?           0
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a closed system is always constant. This is a useful law when looking at explosions and collisions. Momentum
Helpful?           0
A fundamental law of motion, equivalent to Newton's laws: in a system of bodies (=objects), the (vector) sum of all momenta cannot change due to any internal interactions.
Helpful?           0
a law of physics that states that an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force; an object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force
Helpful?           0
