Want this question answered?
In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
Momentum increases.
The same as the total momentum before the collision.
The momentum stays the same.
If you return to the same state of motion before you began gaining momentum, then momentum lost will be equal to momentum gained. I mean really, if you start out not moving with a momentum of 0 and end not moving with a momentum of 0, then of course there the bloody same. If you start at 0 and never stop moving, then obviously your not losing momentum so the statement is false.
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity, so if this product is the same for both, they will have the same 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..
Use this formula:Final momentum = (initial momentum) + (change in momentum)
Different. Momentum is velocity * mass.
In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
Momentum is not just mass. Momentum is the product of mass x velocity.
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.)

The total amount of momentum stays the same. Momentum is neither lost nor gained.
