What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls collide.?

The momentum stays the same.


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.


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 two billiard balls collide the total change in momentum is what?

Billiard balls collide quite elastically. Ideally, the total change in momentum is zero.


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.


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.


When two object collide their momentum after the collision is explained by?

Newtons law


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.


When two objects collide they exert forces on each other that change momentum?

Yes, that is correct.


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.


What happens when two land plates collide?

An earthquake happens.


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).
