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>`__. ..
