Force is what... momentum change per second.So when external force is applied momentum is being changed. So answer is 'No'. Momentum would also be changed

Momentum is conserved only for closed system from external influences.if external net Force is acting on the system momentum of the objects change.

Momentum is conserved only for an isolated system. If an external for acts, it will change the momentum. According to Newton's second law, the rate of change of moemtum is directly proportional to the applied the force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.

What should be the fees for class XI and xii physics per class in Bhubaneswar?

According to me, the best fee will be the changed study pattern of the students from rote to conceptual and being able for themselves to choose what they actually want to do after 12th ( not necessarily engineering or MBBS). Thanks.

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?

The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
