Q

principal of conservation of momentum

A

in a closed system, the total momentum is constant so the momentum before a collision is equal to the momentum afterwards.

Q

Why is calculated momentum not always correct?

A

At high speeds mass increases and the equations are only valid for non relativistic speeds.
