Yes. In the game of pool you do it to make your plays happen. When the que ball strikes another ball it imparts some to all of its energy onto the ball it hit. That ball travels off and the que ball can either finish rolling or having lost all its' forward momentum, stop.

Is momentum inversely proportional to velocity?
No, momentum is directly proportional to velocity, and in the same direction..
Does momentum have a direction?
Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.
Which has a greater momentum a small pick up truck traveling at 55km an hour or a full-sized bus traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is mass times velocity, if the velocity of the two are the same, the object with the greater mass will have proportionally greater momentum.
A measurement of the motion of something. This is equal to the product of the moving objects's mass times it's velocity?
== == Momentum is the product of the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity (or speed). Momentum is conserved so if a moving object hits a staionary object the total momentum of the two objects after the collision is the same as the momentum of the original moving object.
Can an elephant have the same momentum as a golf Ball?
Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Since a golf ball has a much lower mass than an elephant, it would have to have a much higher velocity to achieve the same momentum as an elephant. But it is definitely possible.
Does the total amount of momentum stay the same when two objects interact?
Yes. Momentum is conserved.
Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?
Momentum. If an object has constant velocity, the object will move because it has momentum. Momentum tends to stay the same unless changed by a force.
When can a car and truck have the same momentum?
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity, so if this product is the same for both, they will have the same momentum.
What is ment by conseration of momentum?
Momentum is a constant. The momentum before and after an interaction is the same. E,g. a pool ball with momentum P=mV, the momentum after hitting a second ball is the same mv11 +m2v21 = m1v12 + m2v22 . If v21 is zero the momentum balance is still the same on both sides of the equality., teh momentum is constant..
How do you find magnitude of final momentum?
Use this formula:Final momentum = (initial momentum) + (change in momentum)
The momentum of an objects is in the same what as its velocity?
In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
Is the momentum of a car and a train that have the same velocity the same or different?
Different. Momentum is velocity * mass.
How can object with different masses have the same momentum?
Momentum is not just mass. Momentum is the product of mass x velocity.
If two objects have the same velocity do they have the same momentum?
No, because momentum depends on velocity and mass so they may have the same velocity but if they have different masses then they will have different momenta. (momenta is the plural form of momentum.)
What happens to the momentum if the mass stays the same but the velocity is increased?
Momentum increases.
What is the total momentum of marbles after the collision?
The same as the total momentum before the collision.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls?
The momentum stays the same.
