Apply the impulse-momentum theorem to m1 and m2 separately,
t
= p1 = m1v1f- m1v1i
t
= p2 = m2v2f- m2v2i
where = the average force ofm2 on m1 , and = the average force ofm1 on m2 . By
Newton's third lawF1(t) = -F2(t) which gives = - and so,
( + ) t= m1v1f- m1v1i + m2v2f- m2v2i = 0
p1f+p2f =p1i +p2i. (4)
This is the statement of the conservation of momentum.
Note:
y The system must be isolated: the affect of all external forces actingon m1 and m2 must be negligable.
y The conservation of momentum holds for a collision involving any number of
objects:

Momentum is a vector, and each component is conserved separately. The equationfor conservation of momentum really contains three equations, one for eachdimension.
y From Newton's third law of motion we know that whenever a force is applied
on a body there will be an equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction
forces result in change in velocities of both the bodies which in turn change
the momenta of these bodies.
y In an elastic collision the initial momentum of the bodie
found to be equal to the final momentum of the bodies

conservation of momentum.

y According to Newton's third law of motion, these two forces
are equal and opposite.

i.e., total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after
collision, which is nothing but law of conservation of momentum.
y Conservation of momentum is a fundamental law of physics which states that
the momentum of a system is constant if there are no external forcesacting
on the system. It is embodied in Newton's first law (the law of inertia).
y Suppose we have two interacting particles 1 and 2, possibly of different
masses. The forces between them are equal and opposite. According
toNewton's second law, force is the time rate of change of the momentum, so
we conclude that the rate of change of momentum of particle 1 is equal to
minus the rate of change of momentum of a particle 2,
(1)
y Now, if the rate of change is always equal and opposite, it follows that the
total change in the momentum of particle 1 is equal and opposite of the total
change in the momentum of particle 2. That means tha
momenta the result is zero,
y But the statement that the rate of change of this sum is
stating that the quantity is a constant. This su

momenta of each particle in the system.
