What is when objects collide the total amount of momentum stays the same?

Yes, this is called "The Conservation of Momentum". It requires that the two object are "Elastic", that is they do NOT permanently DEFORM. Two automobiles colliding would be an "Inelastic" collision. Energy would be lost in the Deformation of the Sheet Metal of the car bodies, and the amount of Momentum would NOT be the same AFTER the crash.

Does the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide?
no.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls collide.?
The momentum stays the same.
What does it means to say that momentum or any quantity is conserved?
In a closed system, the TOTAL initial momentum before an "event" is the same as the TOTAL final momentum (at the end).
What happens to the momentum if the mass stays the same but the velocity is increased?
Momentum increases.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls?
The momentum stays the same.
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.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls collide.?
The momentum stays the same.
What does it means to say that momentum or any quantity is conserved?
In a closed system, the TOTAL initial momentum before an "event" is the same as the TOTAL final momentum (at the end).
What happens to the momentum if the mass stays the same but the velocity is increased?
Momentum increases.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls?
The momentum stays the same.
If the momentum of an object changes and its mass stays the same what happens?
momentum = mass * velocity As the momentum changes with constant mass, the velocity cahnges.
If mass doubles what happens to momentum?
If mass doubles, momentum stays the same, but the velocity is half. momentum = mass * velocity mass1 * velocity1 = mass2 * velocity2
What happens to the momentum when the mass increases and speed stays the same?
It increases
What can be said of an object whose mass stays constant but its momentum is changing?
MOMENTUM IS MASS X VELOCITY, SO ITS VELOCITY IS CHANGING
Why can you let go of the handlebars on a bike and the front wheel stays straight?
Angular Momentum!
