Momentum = mass * velocity
Therefore the Volswagen rolling down the hill has greater momentum than the truck which is sationary.
Volkswagen: momentum = mass * velocity
Truck: momentum = mass * 0 = 0

Which has a greater momentum a car sitting still or a pebble rolling down a hill?
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity. At zero velocity, momentum will also be zero.
Which has the greater mass a heavy truck at rest or a rolling skateboard which has greater momentum?
The truck has the most mass, but because it is at rest, the skateboard has the most momentum.
Which has greater kinetic energy an 18-wheeler parked at the curb or a volkswagen rolling down a hill?
18 wheeler
Does a boulder rolling down a hill have momentum?
Yes, a boulder rolling down a hill has mass and velocity. Therefore, it has momentum because p = mv (momentum = mass x velocity).
As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing,the increasing speed is accompanied by?
momentum As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing, the increasing speed is accompanied by: a. increasing momentum.
Which property causes a wagon to continue rolling when you stop pulling it?
Momentum is something that can cause a wagon to continue rolling when you stop pulling it. Momentum equals mass X velocity.
What is the momentum of a 0.5 kg stone rolling at 4.0 minutes per second?
Momentum=mass*velocity 0.5*4=2kgms-1
Does gravity stop a ball from rolling?
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. When an object slows down, the object reduces in velocity. Since Mass is constant, when velocity reduces momentum reduces. thus momentum can be what stops a rolling object. However, a resistive force the reason for the reduction of velocity and subsequently halting.
What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die?
The probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die is 0.
Does hot rolling create greater drafts or does cold rolling?
Yes hot rolling create greater draft than cold rolling . This is because during hot rolling the material is hot due to which it is soft thereby making it easy for more draft
Which can be kicked farther a rolling ball or an idle ball?
An idle ball because the reverse momentum of a rolling ball makes it harder to kick far.
What are some examples of momentum?
Momentum is speed or force of movement and it is defined as moving body. Momentum must have both mass and velocity. Examples of momentum include if a car and big truck are rolling down a hill, the truck will roll faster. A bullet has a lot of momentum with a small mass.
