It will have more momentum as it weighs more. If a tennis ball moving 5 mph hits you it don’t hurt a lot but if a car hits you at 5mph it will knock you over

Answer:

The car will have more momentum because it has a greater mass. Momentum= mass x velocity therefore if both the objects have the same velocity.
