What is a momentum that can be transferred but cannot be lost?
In the context of physics, momentum is a conserved quantity. This means that while momentum can be transferred between objects in a system, the total momentum of the system remains constant unless acted upon by an external force.
Why did all the balls lose momentum what happened to the momentum that was lost?
The balls likely lost momentum due to external forces like friction or air resistance. This lost momentum would have been transferred as heat energy to the surroundings, causing the balls to slow down.
When a person jumps from a tree to the ground what happens to the momentum of the person upon landing on the ground?
The momentum of the person is transferred to the ground upon landing. Initially, the person has momentum due to their motion in the air, and upon landing, this momentum is imparted to the ground as the person comes to a stop.
The law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide their combined momentum?
False $manning boi the great$
What does it meanto say that momentum is conserved?
Momentum is the product of mass times velocity. The sum of (momentum x velocity) for all parts of a closed system remains constant. For instance, if two balls collide, any momentum lost by one is gained by the other (transferred to the other). Energy is NOT necessarily conserved (kinetic energy, to be more precise - any energy lost will be converted into heat, usually), so momentum is sometimes more useful for certain calculations.

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box the momentum of the ball decreases what happens to its momentum?
Momentum (as energy) isn't lost, it is transferred. Momentum is lost to friction when the ball is rolling, but in the described situation, the momentum is basically all transferred to the box upon impact. The box may tip over if light enough, or the box may break, or if heavy enough and built well enough, the box may absorb the impact and be left seemingly untouched. If the ball continues to roll after impact (if it bounces over/around/off of the box, then only partial momentum has been transferred to the box.
The law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide their combined momentum?
False $manning boi the great$
When an action and reaction occur momentum is usually lost?
No. Total momentum before and after the collision is the same. Some kinetic energy can be lost - but not momentum.
What explains the total Amount of momementum in an isolated system is conserved?
Total momentum in an isolated system does not change. The law of physics. The law of conservation of momentum explains that momentum is neither lost of gained. That means that there is a quantity, called momentum, that is conserved.

What are some examples of 'momentum' in a sentence?
They lost the momentum in their relationship, it is now dull. He lost his momentum for working hard, he was so close. The momentum is conserved when two bumper cars hits each other.
Is momentum lost equals to momentum gained?
If you return to the same state of motion before you began gaining momentum, then momentum lost will be equal to momentum gained. I mean really, if you start out not moving with a momentum of 0 and end not moving with a momentum of 0, then of course there the bloody same. If you start at 0 and never stop moving, then obviously your not losing momentum so the statement is false.
What happens to momentum when moving objects collide?
The momenta of individual objects changes. The total momentum remains constant. I have to disagree. If you have two cars that collide head on, the momentum of both vehicles stops. The ENERGY created by the impact causes usually, some reverse momentum but the momentum is lost.
What happen to momentum when objects collide?
The total amount of momentum stays the same. Momentum is neither lost nor gained.
