A. can not be determined
B. more momentum
C. about the same momentum
D. less momentum
Solution:
- If the truck and the baby carriage are rolling down the same initial position then at the bottom of the hill, they will have same velocity because velocity does not depend upon their mass
- We know that the mass of truck > mass of baby carriage
- We also know that momentum is product of mass and velocity
- Therefore, at the bottom of the hill, the heavy truck will have more momentum and baby carriage will have less momentum
