They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.

∙ 12y agoMomentum is the energy by which the billard balls are moving, so when two billard balls accelerate against each other then collide at one pinpoint, the sum of both energies is divided to affect different substances (energy transformation). A part of it to produce sound energy by which we hear that thundering sound when they collide, a part of it to add pressure to the air around the collision, and above all, a part of it to bounce back each ball away from the other after they were instantly motionless while their momentum was displacing.
this answer is according to my perspective and I'm not 100% sure that it could be the right answer so don't rely much on it!

What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls collide.?
The momentum stays the same.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls?
The momentum stays the same.
When two cueballs collide what happens to the momentum?
Nothing. Momentum is a conserved quantity.
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).
Why in a collision momentum is not always conserved?
In principle momentum is always conserved. However what sometimes happens in a collision is that energy is released that is then no longer considered part of the system. For example if two cars collide energy could be dissipated via the air and ground (e.g. heat) and this can also carry away momentum. Often, these effects are not taken into account and in that way momentum conservation appears to be violated; but if one takes care and takes into account all collision products the total momentum after is equal to the total momentum prior. So in short, any violation can be traced back to a redefinition of the system.

The momentum stays the same.
When two cueballs collide what happens to the momentum?
Nothing. Momentum is a conserved quantity.
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.
What happens when two balls collide?
When two balls collide, energy is transferred into sound and deformation, but momentum remains the same. The mass times velocity of the balls is constant.
Describe what happens when a positron and an electron collide?
They destroy each other and create a gamma photon.
What happen when worlds collide?
"Worlds collide" is a common phrase used to describe what happens when two people who know the same person from different places meet each other.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying continental crust collide?
Mountain Ranges form. Like the Himalayas
You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?
You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?"It depends on the window and the size of the object you are throwing or using to break it.
What happens to momentum when football players tackle one another.?
during a tackle, two or more forces collide. Their total is mass is then combined, but their velocity is slowed. The heavier mass moving at a slower velocity results in the overall momentum being equal.

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).
When kinetic energy doubled what happens to momentum?
Momentum increases
