Conservation of momentum states that momentum of a particle/body ( a vector quantity) remains constant if the net applied force (vector) on the body is zero. It means that if the result of vector addition of all the forces that are acting on a particle is zero, the product of particle's mass and its...

Conservation of momentum is a fundamental law of physics which states that the momentum of a system is constant if there are no external forces acting on the system. It is embodied in Newton's first law (the law of inertia).

The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

Life Is Beautiful

For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. That is, the momentum lost by object 1 is equal to the momentum gained by object 2.

Mass X velocity, this can not be destroyed, it just transferred from one to another, hence magnitude remains the same.
