It means that the momentum increases, decreases, or simply changes its direction. The latter is because momentum is a vector quantity (that is, the direction is relevant). Momentum is defined as the product of velocity and mass.

What does conversation of momentum mean?
Conservation of momentum means that momentum is a constant and the change of momentum or force is zero.
If the velocity is constant does that mean that the impulse is the momentum?
impulse = change in momentum so, no
If the velocity is constant does that mean that there is no change in momentum?
yes
What is it called when momentum can be transferred but the total momentum does not change?
conservation of momentum
Formula for momentum?
Total change in momentum = zero (law of conservation of momentum). Also, a change in momentum is equal to the impulse, which is force x time . A formula is: d/dt (Mv) = F, which is one of Newton's laws of motion.

yes
What does the law of the conservation of momentum mean?
It means that there is a quantity called momentum; the total quantity of which doesn't change.
How is the change in momentum calculated?
IN general change is defined as the difference of initial from the final. So change = Final - Initial. Hence change in momentum = Final momentum - initial momentum

How do you find magnitude of final momentum?
Use this formula:Final momentum = (initial momentum) + (change in momentum)
According to impulse - momentum theorem what does impulse?
change in momentum
How is momentum related ito impulse?
An impulse is a change in momentum.
What does it mean to say momentum is conserved?
What does it mean to say momentum is conserved?
Theorem that states that an impulse produces a change in momentum?
It is called the momentum-impulse theorem and states that an impulse will change the momentum of an object. For example, if you drop an object when it hits the ground an impulse occurs. The momentum of the object also changes. Jnet = deltap, where deltap is the change in momentum.
