The classic example is known as Newton's Cradle. An everyday example is when the cue ball on a pool, snooker or billiard table strikes another ball - some or all of the momentum of the cue ball is transferred to the ball that has been struck by it and so it will move.
Another example is, when you see someone coming in your rear view mirror and he is not going to stop, and is going to hit you! "put your car in reverse and just before the impact 20' or so, FLOOR IT! this IS an energy transfer that will save your life and make his a little worst!!

What is it called when momentum can be transferred but the total momentum does not change?
conservation of momentum
Momentum is a property of an object and cannot be transferred from that object to another object?
Momentum of an object is its own property but it can be transferred by that object to any other object during their collision ( elastic or inelastic ) so as to conserve the total momentum of the system as demonstrated by the law of conservation of momentum. One of the examples of the transferring of momentum is the transfer of momentum and incident energy from photons of x rays to the loosely bound electrons in graphite target in Compton effect.
Which law states that the total momentum does not change when it's transferred?
The law of conservation states that the total momentum does not change when it is transferred.
What happens to the hammer's momentum after the hammer hits the nail?
The momentum and energy is transferred to the nail.
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.

What is transferred during a collision?
momentum
How does impulse related to linear momentum?
Impulse is integral of linear momentum with respect to time, and in limits when that momentum was transferred.

The momentum and energy is transferred to the nail.

If something shrinks in size but not in mass what happens to its angular momentum?
Angular momentum is maintained in such a case - and in fact in all cases, unless angular momentum is transferred to, or from, another body. This means it must rotate faster.Angular momentum is maintained in such a case - and in fact in all cases, unless angular momentum is transferred to, or from, another body.

What is momentum and its examples?
momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
Why is the momentum of a roller skater is not conserved?
The situation is not quite clear. Total momentum is always conserved, but momentum can be transferred from one object to another.
What is moving in an ocean wave?
Momentum is being transferred, so momentum is moving. Water molecules follow a small more or less circular path in the deep ocean, with definite linear components as the wave comes ashore.
What happens to the momentum of one object when it colides with another object if they are travelling in the same dirction?
Some momentum is transferred from one to the other.
