No. Total momentum always remains constant. Therefore, if the momentum of one object decreases, the momentum of another must needs increase.

Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?
Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.
Conservation of linear momentum and energy?
energy transfer through transferring momentum. karim khan
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
Object A strikes object B the momentum of object B increase what happens to the momentum of object A?
You can't think of momentum as simply "increasing" and "decreasing" - you have to consider momentum as a vector.If in a collision one object's momentum changes by a certain amount, call it "a", the momentum of the other object will change by the opposite amount, "-a" - both "a" and "-a" are vectors that add up to zero. If you consider only the magnitudes of the momentum, by conservation of energy the momenta can't both increase - but they can certainly both decrease, when objects collide head-on.
Why does velocity stay constant with decreasing momentum?
As far as we can tell, it doesn't. Momentum is defined as (mass) times (velocity). There appear to be only two ways in which momentum can decrease: either the mass has to magically evaporate, or else the velocity has to decrease. Since mass conservation is a nearly fundamental law of nature, that leaves us with velocity as the only way to change the momentum of a moving body.
Does electrical momentom transfer of momentom of masses?
Yes, the electrical momentum does transfer to the momentum of masses.
What is meant by four momentum transfer?
Simply put, four-momentum transfer is the special relativistic spacetime analog of classical (three-) momentum transfer. In classical physics, two bodies can interact and exchange momentum in three spacial dimensions. In particle physics, strictly spatial momentum vectors do not suffice. Instead we use four-momentum, a Lorentz vector. Four-momentum transfer is often referred to as Q^2 is particle physics literature. An interaction that transfer a large amount of four-momentum is a high Q^2 interaction.
Which of newtons law is related to transfer of momentum when a bat strike a ball?
for every force, there is equal force acting in the opposite direction
Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?
Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.
Conservation of linear momentum and energy?
energy transfer through transferring momentum. karim khan
If you drop a suitcase out of a car what happens to the cars momentum?
If you drop a suitcase out of a moving car, the momentum of the car will decrease as there will be less mass, therefore less momentum. :)
How can wave transfer angular momentum?
I am guessing renalectomy.
How do you decrease the momentum of an asteroid?
You can reduce its momentum by slowing it down. Fragmenting it - by blowing it up will not reduce the total momentum. However, the effect of each individual piece will be reduced.
How is impulse relative to momentum?
impulse (force x time) is equal to momentum (mass x velocity); Ft=mv
The formation of waves is a result of what?
Momentum transfer or pressure variances.
To every action force is there an equal and opposite reaction force that is the law of conservation of momentum?
No, that is Newton's Third Law of Motion. The Law of Conservation of Momentum is that within a contained set of objects, the total momentum never changes. Objects can only transfer energy to each other, they can never really "get rid" of it.
True or false When an action and reaction occur momentum is usually lost?
True and false
