I think its D, but im probably wrong

@Michele_Laino please check

im just making it sure @hardequalsmath okay:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure :)
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
if the total momentum Q is conserved, then we can write:
\[\large \frac{{d{\mathbf{Q}}}}{{dt}} = 0\]
so the total momentum is a constant vector, namely:
\[\large {\mathbf{Q}} = {\mathbf{constant}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
so it will a constant right?
