Question

A bus and a Car are traveling along the EDSA having the same velocity. which if the two vehicles would have a greater momentum?a. the busb. the carc. both have the same momentumd. cant be easily determined

Answer 1

The momentum of an object can be calculated with the formula below:

`p=mv`

Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

The mass of the bus is greater than the mass of the car.

So, if they have the same velocity, the momentum of the bus will be greater.

Correct option: a.
