Momentum is related to velocity and mass. When an object's velocity is zero relative to its surroundings, it has no momentum.
Therefore it is untrue to say that an object never looses its momentum.

What are some true statements about momentum?
Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.
Is it true that momentum is not equal to the mass of an object divided by its velocity?
That is true because momentum is mass times velocity
As a moving object's velocity decreases does its momentum decreases?
true
As a moving object's velocity decreases its momentum decreases?
True
In order for a small object to have a large momentun the object needs to be stationary true or false?
False. The momentum of an object is given by the mass times the velocity of the object. Hence, a low-mass object must have a large velocity to have a large momentum.

False. The momentum of an object is given by the mass times the velocity of the object. Hence, a low-mass object must have a large velocity to have a large momentum.
Is it true that the net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum?
Yes, that's a true statement.
What is the force that opposes the friction force?
The opposite force to friction is momentum. Because friction stops an object from moving or slows an object down, momentum keeps it at speed.
True or false When an action and reaction occur momentum is usually lost?
True and false
Momentum is defined as the rate at which work is done true or false?
False. Momentum is not the rate at which work is done. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and it describes the object's motion and the difficulty of stopping it. Work, on the other hand, is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force.
What does he who loses money loses much he who loses a friend loses much more mean?
Human friendship is endlessly more valuable then money. True friendship can never be spent and run out. Money can.
What is mommentum in science?
Momentum is a concept in physics that combines both the mass and velocity of an object. Basically it is the velocity of an object multiplied by its mass. Even though it relates very simply to the mass and velocity of an object it is still commonly used because it simplifies a great number of equations. Also some descriptions of reality are more convenient when using the mass and momentum rather than mass and velocity. This is especially true in particle physics where the simple relation illustrated above does not quite hold (a new factor is required, called the gamma factor) because the speeds approach those of light, and a momentum based model is more easy to work with.
