No. Total momentum before and after the collision is the same. Some kinetic energy can be lost - but not momentum.

True or false When an action and reaction occur momentum is usually lost?

True and false


Does the reaction force occurs before the action force?

The action and reaction forces occur at the same time.


When do action- reaction forces occur?

first law


Would rocket action still occur if there were no surrounding air?

Yes, rocket action would still occur even in the absence of surrounding air, as it relies on the principle of conservation of momentum. The expulsion of mass from the rocket at high velocity will result in an equal and opposite reaction that propels the rocket forward, irrespective of the presence of air.


Do action-reaction forces always occur in threes or pairs?

Pairs!


The pivotal point from which action can occur is called?

The pivotal point from which action can occur is called a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. It provides the necessary activation energy for the reaction to proceed.


When does conservation of momentum occur?

Always. There are no expections to the conservation of momentum.


What must occur for two forces to be action-reaction?

The two forces must be equal and opposite.


Action and reaction are equal and opposite then how motion occurs?

Motion - or rather acceleration - occurs as a result of a net force, meaning that the vector sum of forces on an object is non-zero. This is unrelated to "action and reaction"; please note that "action" and "reaction" occur on DIFFERENT OBJECTS.


What do forces always occur in?

In pairs. Newton's third law.


Does the reactions force occurs before the action force?

The two forces occur at the same time. Sometimes it is a bit arbitrary which force you call "action", and which "reaction". Just remember that forces always occur in pairs.


Is there a time difference between action and reaction forces?

No there is no difference between action and reaction forces!
