Object A and Object B are both in motion when they collide with each other. They then continue in a new direction unaffected by

any other forces. This is a
system, and the momentum is
. This means that the sum of the momentums of A and B before the crash is
to the sum of the momentums of A and B after the crash.

Object A and Object B are part of the same system and the system is isolated as there are no external forces acting on it. Since, during the collision the forces acting between the object A and Object B are internal forces and the internal forces cannot change the momentum of the system. Hence, the momentum of the system will be conserved. So, the sum of the momentum of A and B before and after the collision will be equal.

Answer: This is a closed system, and the momentum is conserved. This means that the sum of the momentum of A and B before the crash is equal to the sum of the momentum of A and B after the crash.
