During the explosion of a bomb, is the momentum conserved?

Question

A bomb in motion when exploded into fragments then is the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum of the fragments?

Answer 1

yes the momentum is conserved

Answer 2

Each fragment moving away from the explosion has momentum, but adding the momentum from all the pieces, you get zero because they're in different directions. Momentum is a vector quantity, and you have to look at the vector sum.  

Answer 3

Since the explosion is caused by the force coming from inside the bomb and there is no external force(only external force causes change in momentum) therefore, the initial momentum will be equal to the final momentum.

Answer 4

yes, momentum is always conserved providing that there is no external force interfere with the system @ situation

Answer 5

yes the momentum remains conserved but it divide with the parts

Answer 6

yes,yes,yes.........

Answer 7

yes, the momentum is always conserved wether the collision is elastic or inelastic, it is just a if the kinetic energy is conserved.
