Answer:

The object with the greater mass will have the greater momentum

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of an object with mass m, moving with velocity , is given by the formula

M = mv

Since both objects have the same velocity v, it is clear that the object with the bigger mass will have the greater momentum
