Question

The law of conservation of momentum states that, if left alone, what happens to the total momentum of two interacting objects that make up a system?

it increases over time
it remains the same
it eventually becomes zero
changes based on how they collide

GPT-5 mini · Answer

it remains the same

Explanation: If no external forces act on the two-object system, the vector sum of their momenta is constant in time (momentum is conserved), even though each object's momentum can change during their interaction.
