Question

Car A has a mass of 500 kg and traveling with velocity of 50m/s, car B has a mass 1000 kg and traveling with velocity of 25 m/s which car has more momentum​

Answer 1

Given :-

velocity of car A = 50 m/s

velocity of car B = 25 m/s

mass of car A = 500 kg

mass of car B = 1000 kg

Need to find :-

which car has more momentum.

Procedure :-

Momentum = mass × velocity ( p = m×v )

• momentum of car A = 50 × 500 = 25000 kg•m/s
• momentum of car B = 25 × 1000 = 25000 kg•m/s

Conclusion :-

Both the cars have the same momentum which is 25000 kg•m/s
