Explanation:Assume you are lifting an object with mass 20 kg from the ground to a height of 1.5 m. Assume that you are exerting a constant force in the upward direction and that you are moving the object upward with uniform velocity. The net force on the object is zero. The force you are exerting is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity. As you are lifting the object you are doing work on the object.
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not <u>change</u>. This means the total momentum <u>before</u><u> </u>a collision or explosion is equal to the total momentum <u>after</u><u> </u>a collision or explosion.
