How does the momentum of two objects before a collision compare with the momentum after the collision?
conservation of 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).
When two objects collide they exert forces on each other that change momentum?
Yes, that is correct.
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.
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 object collide their momentum after the collision is explained by?
Newtons law
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.

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".
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.

Yes, that is correct.

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.
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 objects collide and completely stick together the collision is said to be inelastic True Or False?
True.
In an isolated system two cars each with a mass of 1500 kg collide. Car 1 is initially at rest while Car 2 was moving at 5 ms. What is their combined momentum after the collision?
Law of Conservation of Momentum: The total momentum after the collision is equal to the total momentum before the collission.
