Initial momentum equals final momentum
======================================

If there is no external force applied to system of objects, the summary momentum of this
system remains constant during and after any interactions between objects. See
:ref:`Momentum is constant`.

**Conditions:**

#. The system is closed.

**Links:**

#. `Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum#Conservation>`__.
