Question

because momentum is conserved, there is no way to change the momentum of an object. true or false.

Answer 1

False. While momentum is conserved in an isolated system (where no external forces act), the momentum of an individual object can be changed if external forces are applied. For example, if a football is kicked, the boot exerts a force on the ball, changing its momentum. In an isolated system, the total momentum of the system remains constant, but individual objects can experience changes in momentum due to interactions with other objects or external forces.
