If the total external force on a system is zero, what stays constant?
ATotal potential energy
BTotal linear momentum
CNet internal force
DTotal kinetic energy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Total linear momentum
Zero net external force means dP/dt = 0, so the system's total linear momentum does not change.
