Answer

(a) The linear momentum is not conserved along the y axis. (b) The linear momentum is not conserved along the y axis. (c) The linear momentum is not conserved along the x axis.

Work Step by Step

(a) The linear momentum is not conserved along the y axis because the net force along the y axis is not zero. (b) The linear momentum is not conserved along the y axis because the net force along the y axis is not zero. (c) The linear momentum is not conserved along the x axis because the net force along the x axis is not zero.
