What happens to the momentum of two objects which collide and stick together?

In a collision, a force acts upon an object for a given amount of time to change the object's velocity. The product of force and time is known as impulse. The product of mass and velocity change is known as momentum change. In a collision the impulse encountered by an object is equal to the momentum change it experiences.Impulse = Momentum Change.
What happens to the momentum when two objects collide? Nothing! unless you have friction around. Momentum#1 + Momentum#2 before collision = sum of momentums after collision (that's a vector sum).

∙ 11y agowhen collision takes place,either two independent objects unite to form a bigger unit in that the mass of single unit will be greater than initial mass of independent objects.therefore mass changes so momentum changes.2nd case----imagine two objects moving with certain speed with speed of 1stgreater than 2nd then when they collide velocity will change due to decrease in velocity therefore there will be change in velocity so it implies that momentum also change as momentum is directely proportional to mass and velocity.

What is the force when to objects collide?
momentum
Does the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide?
no.
When objects collide the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum is called what?
this is called law of conservation of momentum
When two objects collide they exert forces on each other that change momentum?
Yes, that is correct.
Can momenta cancel?
Yes. If the force of momentum is equal in both directions, the momentum will cancel. This can occur if two objects with equal momentum traveling in different directions collide.
What never changes when two or more objects collide?
The total momentum of all the objects does not change when two or more objects collide together. An object that is smaller in mass can not have more momentum after the collusion.
What is the force when to objects collide?
momentum
What happens to momentum when moving objects collide?
The momenta of individual objects changes. The total momentum remains constant. I have to disagree. If you have two cars that collide head on, the momentum of both vehicles stops. The ENERGY created by the impact causes usually, some reverse momentum but the momentum is lost.
When objects collide total momentum of all objects what?
Remains constant.
When objects collide the totol inital momentum equals the total final momentum is what?
law of conservation of momentum
Does the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide?
no.
What states that when objects collide the total amount of momentum stays the same?
law of preservation of momentum
What happen to momentum when objects collide?
The total amount of momentum stays the same. Momentum is neither lost nor gained.
When objects collide the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum is called what?
this is called law of conservation of momentum
Damage is more when two bodies collide from opposite directions than when they collide at any other angle.Is it due to the momentum of the objects or their relative velocities?
It is due to the momentum of the two bodies.
When two objects collide they exert forces on each other that change momentum?
Yes, that is correct.
Can momenta cancel?
Yes. If the force of momentum is equal in both directions, the momentum will cancel. This can occur if two objects with equal momentum traveling in different directions collide.
