Question

A 150g baseball rolls with exact same velocity as a 300 g soccer ball, how much more momentum does the soccer ball have?

Answer 1

The momentum of the soccer ball will be twice that of the baseball.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an object of mass
`m` travels with a velocity of
`v`, the momentum
`p` of that object will be
`p = m\, v`. Thus, if velocity is fixed, momentum will be portional to the mass of the object.

The mass of the soccer ball is twice that of the baseball:
`(300 / 150) = 2`. Thus, when moving at the same velocity, momentum of the soccer ball will be twice that of the baseball.
