The momentum of an object remains constant regardless of interactions; momentum can be conserved even when kinetic energy is not conserved in certain scenarios.
The momentum of an object at a given instant is independent of its:
The conservation of momentum principle states that momentum in an isolated system remains constant regardless of interactions, as shown by Newton's third law of motion. In collisions, momentum can be conserved even if kinetic energy is not conserved, depending on the scenario.
One example is when two equal mass objects collide, and after the collision, one is at rest while the other moves away. In this case, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not, as there are no external forces acting on the system.
