It has both direction and magnitude making it a vector quantity. This means that momentum cannot be created or destroyed it is conserved. The above equation is one statement of the law of momentum conservation.
Law of conservation of momentum.
Law of conservation of momentum states that. The bowling ball had an initial momentum of M_1 so as M_2lt M_1 and the momentum of football should be equal to the momentum lost by the bowling ball according to the law of conservation of momentum the football had no other option than moving at a velocity V_2. In a closed system. Law of conservation of momentum states that.
