Do we need to have two objects two have mometum?
I am just confused. Hope someone helps

zhermes said:No. Any and every object has momentum.
Momentum is basically them same as inertia: on objects tendency to maintain its current motion (or its resistance to changing that motion).
Are there any more specific questions or point-of-confusion that you have?
Momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Momentum is related to two objects in a collision or interaction. When two objects collide, they transfer momentum to each other, resulting in changes in their velocities.
No, two objects do not always have the same momentum. The momentum of an object depends on its mass and velocity. So, two objects with different masses or velocities will have different momentums.
Yes, an object can have momentum even without another object present. For example, a moving object has momentum even if it is not interacting with another object.
Momentum is an important concept in physics because it is conserved in a closed system, meaning the total momentum of the system remains constant. This principle is crucial in understanding and predicting the behavior of objects in collisions and interactions.
