My instruction material keeps talking about how "The Law of Conservation of Momentum" is only applicable in isolated systems, without friction or other dissipative forces.
However, in the same breath it will go on to say that Momentum is always conserved in collisions.
Would someone mind describing this in a little more depth?
And, while I'll surely read any materials you link me to on the matter, my entire course is sans human contact, so communicating would be rad :).
