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

GPT-5 mini · Accepted Answer

it remains the same

Explanation: In an isolated system (no external forces), the total momentum of the two interacting objects is conserved — it stays constant over time, though individual object momenta can change.
