It is not, and it doesn't even have the same units. Momentum has the units of force x time (or equivalently, mass x velocity).

Why is the third law called the law of conservation of momentum?

Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.

Yes


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.


How are momentum and inertia the same?

Momentum and inertia are actually different, inertia is the tendency a body has to maintain a state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by a external force momentum would be a impelling force or strength.


Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?

Momentum. If an object has constant velocity, the object will move because it has momentum. Momentum tends to stay the same unless changed by a force.


Will the momentum of a system change when a net force acts on a system?

Yes.


How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?

It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.


How do you generate force and momentum?

You can generate force and momentum by applying pressure.

Momentum is not a force.


Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?

Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.


What is the unit of impulse in physics?

Same as the unit of momentum - an impulse is a transfer of momentum. Velocity x mass. Or the equivalent force x time.
