The law of conservation of momentum (for example linear momentum), says that if no external forces act on a body or if the sum of all external forces on the body is zero, then its momentum remains constant. This means that if I don't push an object that in its initial state stands still, than this object will remain still. And then again: if I don't exert a force (push or pull etc.) upon an object that moves with a constant speed, then its speed will remain constant.

What states that the total momentum of objects that interact do not change?
You have more or less described a law of physics known as conservation of momentum, which is not the same thing as the law of universal gravitation. The law of universal gravitation describes the way mass attracts other mass, and the law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is neither created nor destroyed. These two laws are not connected.
What conversation states that the momentum of an object before the collision is equal to the momentum of the object after the collision?
That law is called, precisely, the Law of Conservation of Momentum.
What is the Momentum law that states that the total momentum of an object is constant if no outside force acts on it?
Law of inertia? Newtons first law.
What is the relationship between momentum and law of conservation of momentum?
Well... the law of conservation of momentum states that "In a system consisting of bodies on which no outside forces are acting; the total momentum of the system remains the same."
Which law states that the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum?
The Law of Conservation of Momentum, which derives from Newton's second and third laws of motion.
What opposes motion and causes moving objects to slow down?
concervation of momentum concervation of momentum 2nd Answer: Well, not really, no. Friction causes moving objects to slow.
Who was the proponent in the law of the concervation of the energy?
Sir Isaac Newton
Does the law of universal gravitation state that the total momentum of objects that interact does not change?
No. The "total momentum" is related to Newton's Third Law. No, that is the law of conservation of momentum.
How can before and after situations be compared for collisions using the law of conservation of momentum?
The momentum before and after is the same, due to the Law of Conservation of momentum. Thus if you calculate the momentum before, then you have the after momentum or vice-versa.

The Law of Conservation of Momentum, which derives from Newton's second and third laws of motion.
Is the law of conversation of momentum one of the newtons law?
The law of conservation of momentum is implied by Newton's laws of motion, but is a more succinct statement of them.
How do you conserve momentum?
According to the law of conservation of momentum which states that in a closed system momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision.
