text: Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant.
text: During launch, the downward momentum of the expanding exhaust gases just equals in magnitude the upward momentum of the rising rocket, so that the total momentum of the system remains constant—in this case, at zero value.
text: In other words, the total momentum of A and B together remains constant.
text: Total momentum of a system remains constant,
text: Or this is more correct: "In an isolated system (i.e. provided no external force acts), the total momentum of the system remains constant.
text: According to the principle of conservation of momentum, when two or more bodies act on each other, their total momentum remains constant, provided that there is no external force acting on them.
text: The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of a system of particles remains constant, so long as no external forces act on the system.
