Question

who has more momentum a car with a mass of 5000 kg moving at a speed of 10m/s or a boat with a mass of 2000kg moving at a speed of 40 m/s ?​

Answer 1

The boat

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum = Mass x Velocity , car has 50,000 k.m/s, the boat 80,000 k.m/s

Answer 2

The boat

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is mass times speed.

p = mv

For the car:

p = (5000 kg) (10 m/s)

p = 50,000 kg m/s

For the boat:

p = (2000 kg) (40 m/s)

p = 80,000 kg m/s
