1) " The total momentum of a system of interacting bodies remains constant, providing no external force acts. "
Why is this untrue?

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Action and Reaction, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when an object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion can be observed in everyday life in many examples, such as walking, driving a car, and playing sports. For example, when you walk, your foot exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on your foot, propelling you forward.
No, Newton's 3rd Law of Motion applies to all objects, whether they are in motion or at rest. This law describes the interaction between two objects, regardless of their state of motion.
No, Newton's 3rd Law of Motion is a fundamental law of physics and has been proven to hold true in all observed situations. It cannot be violated, as it is a fundamental principle that governs the behavior of objects in the universe.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion is directly related to the concept of forces. It explains that forces always occur in pairs, and these pairs of forces are equal in strength and opposite in direction. This law helps to explain how and why objects move and interact with each other.
