Question

Which has more momentum, a heavy truck moving at 30 miles per hour or a light truck moving at 30 miles per hour?

Answer 1

A heavy truck moving a 30 mph. It has more mass.

Answer 2

Answer: The heavy truck

Explanation: Momentum is defined as the amount of movement.

It can be written as P = m*v

Where P is the momentum, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity.

So you can see that if the mass increases, also does the momentum, so if both trucks move at the same velocity, then the truck with the bigger mas will have a bigger momentum.

Then the correct answer is the heavy truck
