Yes, it certainly can, and we're so lucky! If it could not, then we could never
stop our cars, and we would have to just jump on or off as they whizzed by.

If the velocity changes, then that product changes.

When two billiard balls collide the total change in momentum is what?
Billiard balls collide quite elastically. Ideally, the total change in momentum is zero.
What is the inertia of motion?
Inertia of motion is the resistance mass has to motion. It also is the resistance in change in momentum. Momentum includes two things: velocity and direction. When an object changes its velocity, the momentum of the object resists the change. Also, when an object does change its velocity, its momentum is directly changed. In general, the inertia of motion is matter's unwillingness to change velocity or momentum.
How is momentum conserved after two object collide?
From Newton's third law, when two bodies A and B collide, the force that A exerts on B is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that B exerts on A. From Newton's second law, this force produces a rate of change of momentum. Both bodies are experienced to the same magnitude in change of momentum but in opposite directions. Net change in momentum is zero. This implies that momentum is conserved.
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).
What is the formular for impulse?
impulse generator equation is a difference of two exponential functions V0 = Vs/k (exp-at - exp-bt)

What are two thrust factors that a rocket engine depends on?
•Thrust depends on two factors: -rate at which momentum leaves the rocket through the nozzle -Exit pressure pexit

How do two water molecules stick together?
They change direction and they might exchange their momentum.
What two characteristics of and object determine the objects momentum?
A change in momentum exists whenever a force acts on an object, and the magnitude of the change is dependent on the mass of the object on which the force acts.
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 two objects collide they exert forces on each other that change momentum?
Yes, that is correct.
What are the two factors which determine the momentum of a body?
Momentum depends on the mass and the velocity of an object. In physics, P=mv, momentum equals mass times velocity.
