Momentum
Momentum is conserved in a closed system, meaning the total momentum before and after a collision remains the same. In a collision, momentum is transferred between objects, causing their individual velocities to change. While the total momentum remains constant, the distribution of momentum among the objects may change, resulting in some objects slowing down after a collision.
In a collision, momentum is conserved. This means that the total momentum of the objects involved before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. The individual momenta of the objects may change based on the type of collision (elastic or inelastic), but the overall momentum remains constant.
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, their total momentum remains constant if there are no external forces acting on them. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum. The momentum of the objects may change individually due to the collision, but their total momentum before and after the collision remains the same.
Momentum will change if there is a force acting on an object. This change in momentum can occur due to accelerations, decelerations, changes in direction, or interactions with other objects. The magnitude and direction of the momentum change depend on the strength and direction of the force applied.

You can change the amount of momentum an object has by changing its mass, velocity, or direction of motion. Increasing the object's mass or velocity will increase its momentum, while changing its direction will affect the direction of its momentum.
Momentum is not considered a force because it is a vector quantity that describes an object's motion, while force is a vector quantity that describes the interaction between objects that causes a change in motion. Momentum does not directly cause motion to change, rather it reflects the amount of motion an object has.
You can't think of momentum as simply "increasing" and "decreasing" - you have to consider momentum as a vector.If in a collision one object's momentum changes by a certain amount, call it "a", the momentum of the other object will change by the opposite amount, "-a" - both "a" and "-a" are vectors that add up to zero. If you consider only the magnitudes of the momentum, by conservation of energy the momenta can't both increase - but they can certainly both decrease, when objects collide head-on.
Impulse equals change in momentum. "Apex" The final momentum of any object (or collection of objects) must equal to its initial momentum plus any impulse imparted to the object (or collection of objects).
The key dimensions of momentum are mass and velocity. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. The greater the mass or velocity of an object, the greater its momentum. Momentum influences the motion of an object by determining how difficult it is to stop or change the object's direction. Objects with higher momentum are harder to stop or change their course compared to objects with lower momentum.
To determine the change in an object's momentum, you need to know the initial momentum of the object (mass x initial velocity) and the final momentum of the object (mass x final velocity). The change in momentum is equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum.
The total momentum after the collision remains the same as before the collision. This is because momentum is conserved in a closed system, even when objects stick together. The momentum of the two objects is simply combined into a single object after the collision.
