Yep, as always. Newton wrote three laws, conservation of momentum
was one of them.

Ooh! Irrelevant drivel from Nieminen!
Not Newton's COROLLARY I then.
A body by two forces conjoined will describe the diagonal of a
parallelogram, in the same time that it would describe the sides, by those
forces apart.

If a body in a given time, by the force M impressed apart in the place A,
should with an uniform motion be carried from A to B; and by the force N
impressed apart in the same place, should be carried from A to C; complete
the parallelogram ABCD, and, by both forces acting together, it will in the
same time be carried in the diagonal from A to D. For since the force N acts
in the direction of the line AC, parallel to BD, this force (by the second
law) will not at all alter the velocity generated by the other force M, by
which the body is carried towards the line BD. The body therefore will
arrive at the line BD in the same time, whether the force N be impressed or
not; and therefore at the end of that time it will be found somewhere in the
line BD. By the same argument, at the end of the same time it will be found
somewhere in the line CD. Therefore it will be found in the point D, where
both lines meet. But it will move in a right line from A to D, by Law I.
