In a collision what is conserved?
Momentum is conserved in a collision. If two cars have the same mass and are traveling at the same speed and collide headfirst, the momentum of both cars cancel each other out and they will be motionless. If one has greater speed or mass than the other, it will still have the difference in momentum after the collision.
A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?
Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.
Is momentum conserved when two lumps of clay with equal and opposite momenta have a head on collision and come to rest?
The momentum of the two lumps of clay are the same since the momentum is the same before and after the collision. The kinetic energy is not conserved but transformed into gravitational potential energy (GPE) since the position of motion has changed. *Keep in mind: KE is the energy of motion. GPE is the energy that something posses due to its position. :)
Is momentum conserved when two or more objects push away from each other?
Of course it is. Momentum is always conserved.
When two cueballs collide what happens to the momentum?
Nothing. Momentum is a conserved quantity.

In a two body collision?
Momentum is always conserved
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.
Does the total amount of momentum stay the same when two objects interact?
Yes. Momentum is conserved.
What is the most significant similarity between conservation of energy and conservation of momentum?
in law of conservation of energy ENERGY IS CONSERVED and in law of conservation of momentum MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED. There's not similarity in these two laws. expect that in both laws , one quantity is conserved.
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
If momentum were conserved the ratio of the total momentum after the collision to the total momentum before the collision would be?
1 +/- two decimal place
The collision between two helium atoms is perfectly elastic so that momentum is conserved?
Momentum is always conserved in any type of collision. Energy conservation, however, is dependant on elasticity. In a perfectly elastic collision all energy is conserved.
