Newton's Laws of motion. Specifically, his Second (F = ma, or more generally, F = dp/dt) and Third (F1 = -F2) Laws.

How does the momentum of two objects before a collision compare with the momentum after the collision?
conservation of momentum
What is the force when to objects collide?
momentum
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).
The momentum before a collision of three objects is always greater than the momentum after the collision True or false?
False - the thing to remember is that momentum is conserved.
Does the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide?
no.

momentum
When objects collide total momentum of all objects what?
Remains constant.

What happens to the total momentum of two objects in a system before and after interactions?
The total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. This is known as "conservation of momentum".
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 objects collide the totol inital momentum equals the total final momentum is what?
law of conservation of momentum
The momentum before a collision of three objects is always greater than the momentum after the collision True or false?
False - the thing to remember is that momentum is conserved.
Does the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide?
no.
What happens when another object collides with another object?
Newton's Third Law is closely related to Conservation of Momentum. When objects collide, whether the collision is elastic or not, momentum is conserved. (An elastic collision is one in which mechanical energy is conserved. In an elastic collision, after the collision, the objects go away at the same relative speed at which they approached before the collision.)
What type is it when 2 objects bounce off each other when they collide and may transfer what from one to the other?
It is the second type of collision. And they may transfer momentum from one to the other.
What states that when objects collide the total amount of momentum stays the same?
law of preservation of momentum
