Question

Conservation of momentum in a collision between particles can be understood on the basis of _________________.

• A. Newton's fast law of motion
• B. Newton's second law of motion only
• C. Both Newton's second law of motion and Newton's third law of motion
• D. Conservation of energy

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both Newton's second law of motion and Newton's third law of motion

collision involves impulse and action reaction pairs

which are both defined by the 2nd and 3rd law of motion.
