The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not change. This means the total momentum before a collision or explosion is equal to the total momentum after a collision or explosion.

This means that the total momentum of an object remains constant all throughout the phenomenon (before and after collision). If there is no net external force acting on an object or a system, the momentum of the system is conserved or remains the same.
