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!
