Questions and Answers

Explain the concept of momentum conservation law.

The momentum conservation law states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it.

Describe the First Law of Thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Energy Conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted.
