Explanation:
Hi✌️✌️
Momentum is
p = mv, where m is the mass and v is the speed.
So, if two objects have the same momentum but different speeds, the must have different masses as well.
v1/v2 = m2/m1
The example is a car and a truck. Car has the mass 1000 kg and velocity 100 m/s, and truck has the mass 5000 kg and velocity 20 m/s. Use the formula above to determine is it true that they have the same momentum:
(100 m/s) / (20 m/s) = (5000 kg) / (1000 kg)
5 = 5
So, the example is correct.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
