That means that a quantity, called "momentum", can be defined, and that this quantity does not change over time. In any collision, for example, the momentum (which is defined as mass x velocity) of individual objects can change, but the total momentum does not change. Please note that since velocity is a vector quantity, momentum is also a vector quantity.
It's the mass of a object on its velocity (the velocity is a vector and as result of multiplication of a scalar (mass) on a vector (velocity) you get a vector (momentum). Intuitively, momentum is the property of a body which enables it to resist a force.
True.

True.
Total momentum in an isolated system does not change. The law of physics. The law of conservation of momentum explains that momentum is neither lost of gained. That means that there is a quantity, called momentum, that is conserved.

An isolated system can lead us to conclusion that the linear momentum is conserved. When the mechanical properties of a given system does not change, then the system is in an isolated state.
The total momentum of the system doesn't change. In this case, it refers to the momentum of the toy truck plus the momentum of the toy car.
IN general change is defined as the difference of initial from the final. So change = Final - Initial. Hence change in momentum = Final momentum - initial momentum
In symbols, linear momentum p is defined to be p = mv, where m is the mass of the system and v is its velocity. The SI unit for momentum is kg · m/s. Newton's second law of motion in terms of momentum states that the net external force equals the change in momentum of a system divided by the time over which it changes.
For a simple answer, we have to ignore air resistance. As the skydiver's downward momentum increases, the earth's upward momentum increases by an identical amount. The total momentum of the earth-skydiver system remains constant.
