Best Answer

According to the law of conservation of momentum which states that in a closed system momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision.

What happens to the speed of an object like a planet or satellite if it moves closer to the object it is revolving around?

It increases in order to conserve angular momentum.


Momentum is a property of an object and cannot be transferred from that object to another object?

Momentum of an object is its own property but it can be transferred by that object to any other object during their collision ( elastic or inelastic ) so as to conserve the total momentum of the system as demonstrated by the law of conservation of momentum. One of the examples of the transferring of momentum is the transfer of momentum and incident energy from photons of x rays to the loosely bound electrons in graphite target in Compton effect.

Friciton slows down the spin of the ball. In order to conserve angular momentum, the ball begins to move in an arc of decreasing radius.

Why Momentum is conserve yet most moving objects eventually slow down and stop?

Because when we study physics, we mostly stuffy it in ideal surroundings where there is no friction, but in real life, there is friction, so the speed of the object will decrease as it travels along its trajectory, and since MOMENTUM = Velocity x Mass The momentum will also decrease


What is making the moon move far away?

The law of conservation of angular momentum. The earths rate of rotation is slowing due mainly to the drag of the tides caused by the moon. To conserve the angular momentum in the earth/moon system the moon has to recede. The moon isn't moving.


A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?

Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.
