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.


Momentum is a property of an object and cannot be transfered fromthat object to another object?

false! :)


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.


What is it called when one object exerts force on another object?

What will change is the momentum.


What happens to the momentum of a baseball bat when it hits a baseball?

Why would a baseball be hitting another baseball?


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.


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 happen when a moving object with momentum collides?

the momentum and energy is transferred and someone gets hurt, for an example watch Clay Matthews.


Does every transfer decrease momentum?

No. Total momentum always remains constant. Therefore, if the momentum of one object decreases, the momentum of another must needs increase.


What is transferred from a bat to a ball when the ball is hit?

When a bat hits a Baseball the bat transfers momentum. Momentum is the force in a moving object, which can be passed on from one object to another.


When ever an object is standing still the momentum is?

When an object is still it has no momentum. That is, the momentum is zero.


Conservation of linear momentum exp?

Linear momentum is mass times velocity. For a single point object, momentum is conserved, because the object will continue to move at a constant velocity. Nor will its mass change either. For a group of objects, too: When momentum is transferred, for example during a collision, any momentum lost by one object is gained by another. The total momentum remains constant.
