The condition necessary for the Conservation of Linear Momentum in a given system is that
A)energy is conserved.
B)one body is at rest.
C)the net external force is zero.
D)internal forces equal external forces.
E)None of these is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conservation of linear momentum in a given system requires that the net external force acting on the system is zero. This means that the total momentum of the system remains constant, regardless of any internal or external forces acting on it. The conservation of energy is not necessary for the conservation of linear momentum, although it is often related to it. Other choices are not relevant to the conservation of linear momentum.
