Is linear momentum conserved during the collision of two bodies from opposite direction as it is conserved during the collision from same direction?
Can you explain the conservation of momentum principle?
The conservation of momentum principle states that when two objects collide, the total momentum of the system remains constant. This means that the sum of the momenta of the two objects before the collision is equal to the sum of the momenta after the collision. This principle applies to both elastic and inelastic collisions.
