From Newton's third law, when two bodies A and B collide, the force that A exerts on B is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that B exerts on A. From Newton's second law, this force produces a rate of change of momentum. Both bodies are experienced to the same magnitude in change of momentum but in opposite directions. Net change in momentum is zero. This implies that momentum is conserved.

When two cueballs collide what happens to the momentum?
Nothing. Momentum is a conserved quantity.
What is conserved when two object collide in a closed system?
Momentum is conserved when two objects collide in a closed system.
What is the theory of momentum?
The idea is that there is a quantity, "amount of movement", formally the product of mass x velocity, that is conserved. That means that the total momentum doesn't change, even if two objects collide, for example - any momentum lost by one object is gained by the other object.
Give two examples showing the conservation of momentum give one example where momentum is not conserved?
Momentum like mass will always be conserved in any process. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the object. It is symbolically denoted as p=m*v where p = momentum, m = mass and v = velocity
Is momentum conserved when two or more objects push away from each other?
Of course it is. Momentum is always conserved.

When two object collide their momentum after the collision is explained by?
Newtons law

What never changes when two or more objects collide?
The total momentum of all the objects does not change when two or more objects collide together. An object that is smaller in mass can not have more momentum after the collusion.

Of course it is. Momentum is always conserved.
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.
Why in a collision momentum is not always conserved?
In principle momentum is always conserved. However what sometimes happens in a collision is that energy is released that is then no longer considered part of the system. For example if two cars collide energy could be dissipated via the air and ground (e.g. heat) and this can also carry away momentum. Often, these effects are not taken into account and in that way momentum conservation appears to be violated; but if one takes care and takes into account all collision products the total momentum after is equal to the total momentum prior. So in short, any violation can be traced back to a redefinition of the system.
In a two body collision?
Momentum is always conserved
If two toy cars of the same mass are moving from the opposite directions will they collide at a half way point and what will happen after the collision?
Momentum will be conserved (it always is conserved). If the cars also move at the same speed, and the collision is inelastic, they will both stop completely.
Is the total angular momentum conserved when there is a two car collision?
Total angular momentum is always conserved - there is no way you can violate that law. So, the answer is yes.
