alleryConservation of momentum follows from the second law and the:
AFifth law
BThird law
CZeroth law
DFourth law
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Third law
1. The second law links force to change of momentum.
2. Action and reaction pair the internal forces.
3. So the conservation law follows from the second and third laws.
