Phoenix Vaughan · Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

momentum depends on velocity so when velocity changes (which is when speed or direction changes) momentum changes

for example angular momentum is the momentum due to rotational motion which includes changes in direction

Elsie · Answer 2

The momentum does not change because he is going the same speed just a different way.
