QUESTION:
Momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another. What is the angle between the directions? Give an example.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
In an isolated system, where the net external force is zero, the momentum is conserved.
Individual components in a system can have momentum conserved in one direction and not conserved in another direction.
