correct , because is has no force it only has momentum , because its not accelerating.
if the object were accelerating then it could apply a force to another object.

I've already demonstrated to your satisfaction that a mass changing direction will transfer double it's initial momentum to the pipe.


that was before you convinced me that an object that only has momentum cannot apply a force to another object.

there is no force available for a push , because the mass
only has momentum.

they only have momentum , there is no force that is causing them to accelerate through the turn so they dont have increasing angular acceleration so theres no force due to there mass x their acceleration that they can apply to the pipe.

if there was a force causing them to accelerate through the turn then their velocity would increase through the turn.

and when they exited the turn their velocity would be higher than 40 m/s

they only have mass and velocity.
