Momentum conservation follows from: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Momentum conservation follows from:
A. Newton's third law
B. Newton's second law
C. Newton's first law
D. Energy conservation
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Internal forces cancel in pairs (third law), so net external force = 0 ⇒ dp/dt = 0 (second law) ⇒ momentum constant. Memory aid: 'Momentum conservation ⇔ no external force ⇔ action-reaction pairs'. Mechanics foundation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Einstein known for:
A. Nuclear model of atom
B. Electromagnetic induction
C. Discovery of electron
D. Photoelectric effect explanation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Einstein explained photoelectric effect (1905) using light quanta (photons), earning Nobel Prize. Also developed relativity. Electron: Thomson; Nuclear atom: Rutherford; Induction: Faraday.
