At the bottom of the hill, the baby carriage will likely  have less momentum

Therefore, option D is correct.

Explanation:

The full question is:

A large heavy truck and a small baby carriage roll down a hill. Neglecting friction, at the bottom of the hill, the baby carriage will likely have

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

Hope this answer is helpful.
