Yes. Momentum is the kinetic energy that all moving things in the universe have. In Weightlifting, momentum works against the athlete because it takes away some of the difficulty of the exercise. While this might seem like a good thing (making exercise easier), it also reduces the effectiveness of the resistance. Slow, deliberate movements help to minimize this effect, and also make things safer because the weightlifter will not be as tempted to lift more than they can safely handle (it's good to push your limits, but exceeding them too far and too often inevitably leads to overtraining and injury).

What are examples of momentum?
A team that has the momentum is on the move and is going to take some effort to stop. A team that has a lot of momentum is really on the move and is going to be hard to stop. A sports team which is on the move has the momentum. If an object is in motion (on the move) then it has momentum.
How does an object with higher momentum move?
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass - so to have a "higher momentum", the object must either be more massive, or it must move faster.
Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?
Momentum. If an object has constant velocity, the object will move because it has momentum. Momentum tends to stay the same unless changed by a force.
What is the momentum of a 25 kg table?
Unless you push it to make it move it has no momentum as momentum is mass x velocity
How does a asteroid move through space?
momentum
Does every transfer decrease momentum?
No. Total momentum always remains constant. Therefore, if the momentum of one object decreases, the momentum of another must needs increase.
How can the force of friction be beneficial?
If there was no friction, nothing would come to a stop. Everything you touch, and every move you make, would continue and build momentum (speed).
What is present tense of move?
the present tense of move is move
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
If a moving boxcar gently collides with a boxcar at rest and the two boxcars move together what will their combined momentum be?
Their combined momentum will be equal to the first boxcar's original momentum before the collision.
What is the result of force causing matter to move through space?
momentum
What do all moving objects have?
they all bend or move in a way.
