Answer
The law of linear momentum, also known as Newton's Second Law, states that the rate of change of momentum of an object euals the net force applied to it. Mathematically: F = ΔP/Δt or F = (mv - mu)/t. Additionally, the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum states that in a closed system with no external forces, total momentum remains constant before and after any interaction.
