momentum is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or the force (energy) required to stop an objects motion. an object at rest (not moving) has no momentum.

momentum is zero as far as you're concerned.

What is a example of a momentum of zero?
An object at rest. Actually that's the only possible example for a single object. For two objects, you can have objects moving in opposite directions; for example, one may have a momentum of +100 units, and the other, a momentum of -100 units.
What depend on objects mass and velocity?
a moving objects momentum
What are Four different collision scenarios of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision: objects bound against each other after the collision. - One is moving and the other is at rest. - Both objects are moving. Inelastic collision: objects stick together after the collision. - One is moving and the other is at rest. - Both objects are moving.
The total amount of momentum of a group of objects does not change unless outside forces act on the objects?
Momentum
Is an objects momentum directly proportional to an objects velocity?
Yes: P=mv (momentum = mass * velocity)

Why is momentum caused?
momentum is caused by inertia. all objects have inertia, which means if they are moving at a certain velocity or are at rest they will continue to move at that velocity or remain at rest unless acted on by a force. Objects of more mass have greater inertia, so the amount of momentum is equal to the product of an objects mass and the magnitude of its velocity.
Momentum of a system is conserved only when?
When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.
What depend on objects mass and velocity?
a moving objects momentum
Do all rotating objects have angular momentum?
Rotating objects all have angular momentum.

What kind of objects have momentum?
One object that has a momentum is a computer.
How does the momentum of two objects before a collision compare with the momentum after the collision?
conservation of momentum
How are momentum and interia related?
Momentum, specifically linear momentum, defined as:p = mvwhere p=momentum, m=mass and v=velocityis a vector quantity that describes an objects motion in a given frame.Inertia, or the Principle of Inertia, is an object's resistance to a change in velocity. It is pretty much summed up by Newton's First Law of motion, an object at rest/ in motion will continue at rest/ in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.Momentum and Inertia are related conceptually in the way that any object with mass has momentum, if its velocity is zero than its momentum is zero, and inertia is that objects resistance to a change in its velocity.
The product of an objects mass and velocity is called its?
momentum (vector)
