To the best of current scientific knowledge, momentum IS always conserved.
momentum is always conserved the kinetic energy may increase or decrease as per the situation
it occurs in case of inelastic collision
YES
I don't see how anything can "act against momentum"; momentum is always conserved. If there is friction, the movement of the object will be slowed down; but in this case, momentum is transferred to the air, or whatever is slowing down the object in question. Total momentum will be conserved.
That means that total momentum doesn't change. It is the same before and after the collision.
When momentum is conserved, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.
Momentum is always conserved. No matter what the collision, as long as you look at everything involved, momentum will always be conserved.
Momentum would be conserved.
Well, momentum is always conserved in a closed system.
What does it mean to say momentum is conserved?
Linear momentum is conserved until an external force is applied.
For momentum to be conserved in a system it must
To the best of current scientific knowledge, momentum IS always conserved.
Momentum is conserved.
momentum is conserved means that the force used to create the momentum is never lost in the first place... it is simply transferred from one object to another (through contact), and this momentum is thus "conserved"
The situation is not quite clear. Total momentum is always conserved, but momentum can be transferred from one object to another.
