Question

If a motorcycle, a car, and a big rig are all moving with a velocity of 100 km/h, which vehicle has the greatest momentum?

Answer 1

•IF A MOTORCYCLE, A CAR, AND A BIG RIG ARE ALL MOVING WITH A VELOCITY OF 100 Km/h, Then the VEHICLE WITH GREATEST MOMENTUM would be the one with GREATEST mass.

•Formula for MOMENTUM IS p=mxv.

•As THE VELOCITY OF ALL THREE VEHICLES IS EQUAL, THE MOMENTUM depends on the MASS OF THE BODY.

•Clearly the mass of BIG RIG IS GREATER THAN THAT OF CAR IS GREATER THAN THAT OF BIKE.

•Therefore, The MOMENTUM OF THE BIG RIG IS GREATER THAN CAR AND THE MOMENTUM OF CAR IS GREATER THAN THAT OF BIKE.

Answer 2

For big rig the momentum is greatest.

Given:

If a motorcycle, a car, and a big rig are all moving with a velocity of 100 km/h.

To find:

Which vehicle has the greatest momentum.

Concept used:

Momentum:

Momentum is a physics term. It can be defined as "mass in motion." Simply says that it is the product of mass and velocity

So momentum = mass × velocity

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

motorcycle, a car, and a big rig are all moving with a same velocity.

So from definition of momentum whichever body mass is large the momentum is also large because velocity are same.

For big rig the momentum is greatest.
