Answer:

Object A's momentum is larger

Step-by-step explanation:

as the formula for momentum goes:

P = M * V

where P is momentum, M is mass, V is velocity.

so where Va (Object A's velocity) is larger than Vb (Object B's velocity) we get:

( i ) Va > Vb

as the masses of both objects are equal, we mark:

( ii) Ma = Mb = M

we multiply both sides of ( i ) by M to get:

( iii ) Va × M > Vb × M

and we finally get:

( iv ) Pa > Pb
