eli5, when a moving object bounces off of another, does it momentarily stop moving?

Yes. If I throw an object to my right, and it eventually bounces back to me (ie the object moves to the left since that’s the only way it gets back to me), there’s a very very very small fraction of a second where it doesn’t move.
That’s because if it’s going to the right, then moves left, at some point it needs to stop moving to the right, which is when it stops moving. As soon as that moment is done, it starts it’s movement to the left.
