To determine the motion of the centre of mass of a system, knowledge of internal forces of the system is required. For this purpose we need not to know the external forces on the system.

Show that the total linear momentum of a system of particles is conserved in the absence of any external force. Also show that total linear momentum of the system is equal to the product of the total mass of the system and the velocity of its centre of mass.

The velocity of centre of mass of the system remains constant, if the total external force acting on the system is.

Will the momentum remain conserved if some external force acts on the system ?

True / False type questions : Total energy of a system is always conserved, no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present.
